    Passive solar heating and cooling techniques in Earthships use solar gain, thermal mass properties, and ground temperature regulation to maintain comfortable interior temperatures without mechanical heating or cooling systems. Solar heat is collected and stored in heavy thermal mass walls during the day, then released at night, while cooling tubes underground tap into stable earth temperatures for ventilation and convection cooling in the summer.
