The Washington Passive Solar Design/Build Competition was held in an effort to encourage the design, construction, and marketing of moderately priced passive solar homes in Washington state. Four categories were established, including single and multi-family, new design and remodel. A number of commonly made thermal mistakes are discussed. Eight winning entries are presented along with four notable entries, for each of which is given an overview of the design, energy conservation measures, passive heating and cooling features, system operation, and thermal performance.
