Two speculative condominium projects using passive solar space heating are under construction. Casa del Sol, with 58 townhouse units, uses a direct gain and mass wall hybrid system. Crystal Park, with 35 townhouses, uses direct gain and greenhouses. The dwellings are of wood frame construction with brick and water providing thermal storage. Both projects stand at 10 units per acre within the city limits of Lake Oswego, which shares a common border with Portland, Oregon.
