Designed as a handbook to guide one step by step through the sometimes bewildering world of solar remodeling, this book can help assess a home's solar potential and choose a system that can put the sun's energy to work. A discussion of the fundamental characteristics of heat is followed by an introduction to the basic passive heating and cooling systems. Guidelines for choosing the right system for each situation are followed by a discussion of solar economics which covers payback time, loans, and tax incentives. The text and color photos share the experience of people who rose to the challenge of bringing solar energy into their homes throgh solar remodeling. The final chapter offers 10 small-scale project ideas for the do-it-yourselfer.
