It is possible within a bounded system, through manipulation of the built environment using novel combinations of technology, overall system design, and process cycle management, to moderate increases in system entropy for both energy and matter with a structurally coupled external environment. One example embodiment forms an engineered ecosystem, moderating eight primary systems—thermal management, atmospheric optimization, radiation controls, hydrological systems, energy systems, material flows, systems management, and built systems—to provide homeostatic regulation of cascading flows of matter and energy. Ideally the system's symbiotic processes work through reciprocity and devolved autonomy to form the unity of the system that balances resource use, reduces transport requirements, shortens cycles of water, minerals, and residual flows, and offers storage of surplus and reserves. This system enables a stable passive design where in consideration of bounded inputs and outputs, the outputs never exceed inputs.

Der Wechsel zwischen Absorption und Reflektion der Globalstrahlung verhindert im Extremfall die Überhitzung der Anlage. Dadurch ist die Optimierung der Transmission der Globalstrahlung durch die transparente Außenabdeckung möglich. Gleichzeitig kann der Wärmedurchgangswert unter Ug /2-W / m2K gehalten werden, was bei herkömmlichen Flachkollektoren nicht möglich ist, da sie eine ortsunveränderliche Absorber Ebene haben.Diese Einreichung zur Patentierung beinhaltet die geniale, mechanisch-steuerbare Absorption der Globalstrahlung, wodurch einerseits die drohende Überhitzung des Kollektors verhindert wird und gleichzeitig über den maximalen Lichteinfall auf Meeresspiegelebenen hinaus eine stärkere Absorption der Globalstrahlung durch Bündelung von direkter und indirekter Einstrahlung ermöglicht wird. Durch diese, weitaus höhere Absorption pro Quadratmeter wird ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Bekämpfung der dramatischen Klimaveränderung geleistet. Wir müssen alle Möglichkeiten zum Ausbau und Effektivierung regenerativer Energien ausschöpfen.
