The retrofitting of existing masonry buildings to passive solar heating incorporated the installation of insulation on the building exterior. A house in St. Louis was retrofitted by installing exterior polyurethane rigid board covered with metal lath and stucco to achieve R-18, incorporating a south-facing sun wall, and constructing a cathedral ceiling and an attached greenhouse. The sun wall was constructed by replacing a bay window area with glass and glass ductwork collectors which connect to the greenhouse below. The greenhouse can be disassembled in the spring to prevent overheating problems. An air-lock entry was also installed. The retrofit improvements were estimated to reduce space heating requirements by 80%.
