An Open Source Community to Share Passive Solar Design Innovation based on 'CoolSky' technology

Why Passive Heating and Cooling?

Extreme weather creates more demand for heating and cooling. Current air conditioning, refrigerating and heating systems use electricity, contributing to global warming. There's a better way, and we can get there together!

At SolarFool.org, we recognize the urgent need for passive heating and cooling systems. Through open source innovation, our goal is to replace polluting HVAC systems worldwide with elegant, affordable and non-polluting passive systems, based on Steve Baer's technology that we're calling 'CoolSky'.

Christina Hildebrandt

Christina sees the global need for affordable, non-polluting heating and cooling technology as our planet's climate experiences increasingly crazy temperature swings. She's helping bring Steve Baer's ingenious passive heating and cooling designs into production, so everyone on the planet can live in safety and comfort. 

Jose Baer

As land manager at Naturion and owner of Oso Ag, LLC, Jose is passionate about leveraging markets for everyone's good. As Steve Baer's son, he wants to bring his dad's brilliant designs to the world through the interconnectivity of planet, people and nature's elements.

Paul Hildebrandt

Paul is founder and CEO of Zometool, Inc. Paul has devoted the last 45 years to developing applications of Steve Baer's 31-zone system, including the Zometool, a physical embodiment of quantum math. His dream is to build houses incorporating Baer's passive heating and cooling technology.
