An architectural and planning firm has been designing passive solar buildings at costs comparable to those for conventionally heated buildings. Bids for the construction of these buildings have ranged from $28-40/ft/sup 2/ and a motel was constructed for $28.10/ft/sup 2/ of heated space. Roofs are insulated to R-38 and walls to R-19. The buildings have triple glazing and/or insulating shutters and minimum window and door area on the north and west sides. Common walls, floors, and roofs are used where possible in townhouses and offices and air lock entries are installed. A heat loss of 2-4 Btu/degree day/ft/sup 2/ is attempted in the buildings.
