Survey of passive solar homes

Technical Report · Sun Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1980

OSTI ID:6341222

This survey illustrates some of the many examples of passively heated and cooled homes found throughout the country. More than 300 homes are described or listed. The country is divided into four regions. Within each region, case studies of selected projects are presented state-by-state. These case studies are followed by a directory that identifies additional passive homes located in that region. Each regional section begins with a brief sketch of the region's climate with maps showing average annual heating degree days and average daily solar radiation for December. Case studies are listed, numbered and plotted on a large map of the region. Each case study begins with a thumbnail sketch of the project. Information on each case includes the following: location, project title, designer's name and address, building type, conditional area, heating load, heating degree days, solar fraction, collection area, storage capacity, system description, and references. Photographs are included.
