The Passive Solar House

By James Kachadorian. The use of solar energy to heat and cool buildings predates recorded history. Yet in recent years, homes have been designed and constructed as though there were an endless and inexpensive supply of fossil fuels. Passive solar design is one of the primary keys to a sustainable society. Our buildings must be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, with a minimum of energy input. 188 pages, paperback. USA.
