Mimic a Mole

Problem:

Too cold in winter, too hot in summer.

Biomimicry Idea:

Building houses that make the cold air stay in summer and warm air stay in winter. During the summer, moles houses keep the cool air in and during the winter their little burrows help keep the warm air inside to keep warm.

Moles that have babies will often add vegetation to their nest which, while it decays, it will also generate heat which will help keep their den warm.

They take a lot of rotten vegetation to generate heat inside their dens.

My idea to apply this to humans would be to have people get a bunch of rotten vegetation and put them in large containers in the ceiling of their houses and they can get air filters to trap the smell.
