44、times, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is

45、 to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form o

47、esult is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a

48、0;system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the

49、0;ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At&#

50、160;a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer 蓄水层 into which several heat exchangers 交换器 have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchang

51、ers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed

52、0;slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the plac
