In an effort to identify the prime markets for passive solar homes and sunspaces, a major marketing effort was initiated by the US Department of Energy. This marketing research effort consists of five complementary consumer surveys, one homebuilder survey and one home improvement products and services distribution survey. A description of each of the above and a discussion of their relationship to each other are presented within the paper. Complete results from the 100 passive solar home and sunspace owner experience surveys are presented.
