Abstract
A low-energy passive solar cottage is described. The solar gain by the Conservatory and South facing glazing can displace up to one third of the heat required from the space heating systems. The total annual fuel use of 35750 kWh compared well with a traditional design. The coke used for space heating was 21300 kWh which provided all day whole house heating. The design of the house has succeeded in providing a thermally comfortable and visually attractive internal environment. The house cost 2% more to build than an equivalent non solar house. This cost could not be identified with the passive solar feature. (author).
