Disclosed is a system and method of constructing modular homes, which are assembled from a numbered of prefabricated components and delivered as finished goods using standard containers. The modular design further provides for a self-sufficient structure where the three main engineering systems, namely, plumbing, electrical and HVAC, are completely integrated allowing the structure to maximize energy usage efficiencies. Emphasis is placed on using only environmentally friendly materials and on recycle or multi-purposing components into energy or resource gathering and production. Another emphasis is placed on speed of assembly using standardized structures that streamline on the job assembly processes.

Building heating and/or cooling methods are provided that can include: distributing fluid from within conduits within a concrete floor of a building to conduits within grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building; diverting at least some of the fluid exiting the conduits within the grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building to a dehumidifier operably associated with the interior of the building; and returning the at least some of the fluid from the dehumidifier to the conduits within the grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building.

The present invention is intended for use in large conditioned air plenum environments and particularly in the plenum environment of multilevel raised floor electro-mechanical distribution systems. The invention comprises the step of providing at least one height change of dedicated conditioned air plenum, which alters the plenum's volume. This makes it possible to maintain the preferred static pressure and velocity for conditioned air throughout the entire plenum even as the amount of air in the plenum decreases as conditioned air discharges into the intended space outside of the plenum.
