Enertia- which means Energy from a shift-in-time, is a new energy technology using the thermodynamic properties of wood. It is perfect for building solar homes since the wooden structure of the home can double as a "thermal battery," shifting daytime solar gain to nighttime heating needs. Recently granted US Patent No. 6,933,016, the technology rose to the top in the Invent-Now Challenge sponsored by the History Channel, the US Patent office, Lexus, and Time magazine. The Enertia Building System was chosen the Grand Prize winner - details can be found on the History Channel website:
