Abstract: Energy devices and buildings are sustainable if, when they operate, they use sustainable (renewable and refuse) energy and generate nega-energy. This paper covers three research examples of this type of sustainability: (1) use of air-to-earth heat exchangers, (2) computer control of heating and cooling of the building (via heat pumps and heat-recovery devices), and (3) design control of energy consumption in a house.

Keywords: sustainability; renewable energy; refuse energy; nega-energy; sustainable development; energy efficiency; heat pumps; heat recovery; heat exchangers; computer control; energy consumption; domestic heating; buildings; cooling.
