Re: Spoiled residents whining over nothing please let us in on how you climate control 24"-24" vault. . maybe by putting a central ac unit above it? the climate controlled vaults are usually around a 8 to 10 feet concrete vault. you dont really suggest putting that in front of everyones house do you? |

At 8-12 feet you reach an area that will be warmer or colder 6 months out of phase with the weather i.e summer warmth wiill reach and effect that level around january.
this is convienent from ground looped (earth coupled) heat pumps, but not so good for easy acessible cable connections.
and then comes ground water problems, cable guys shouldn't need scuba gear 
Deep burial is impractical for most residental applications |
