Forty years ago a trombe wall worked to store and release heat in a passive solar house. Is it obsolete in the 21st century? If you wanted to build a beautiful, affordable home with minimal heating and cooling bills, how would you do it? The SunCatcher, a passive solar greenhouse design by SunCatcher Design Group could be the answer to local food, food consumption and CO2 emissions. The SunCatcher uses passive solar energy to maintain yearlong growing conditions in the greenhouse without excessive fuel use. If you were to add on to your home, how would you make the most of the additional space? Planning a sunroom addition has many advantages. A well-designed sunspace helps produce heat for your home during the winter and provides a perfect place for growing herbs, flowers and vegetables. MOTHER EARTH NEWS RADIO host, Andrea Ridout, discusses various chicken topics and events on FOX’s ’Good Day.’ Adding the proper amounts of insulation, and in the right places, is an important step in remodeling for passive solar. Dan Chiras talks about the benefits of passive solar design. You don’t have to ba a master carpenter to take on a DIY project. What building project have you done all on your own that you are the most proud of the results? While the summer sun was still high, we made progress on our earth-sheltered, passive solar house, including post and beam, roofing, capping the brick wall. |
