Radiators
Passive Solar Heating
Geothermal heating and also Where in the US do people use geothermal heating?
Wood stove
Forced air/ gas burners

2. Each color group has been gifted a plot of land to build a vacation cabin on. You will need to consider the climate of your area before determining which heating system you want to use in your dream vacation cabin. Although you may talk with each of your group mates about the vacation home design, each person needs their own, unique design. The assignments are as follows:
