Design and installation of a backyard bioshelter: a four-season, high-performance, passive solar greenhouse for a residence in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

What does the term Solar Passive Design actually mean? Passive solar design refers to the use of the sun's energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces. In this approach, the building itself or some element of it takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in materials and air

Project: Three Trees Location: Eagle Rock, California Large rocks squeezed into together by 'wood shelves' insulate the South face of the house. The rocks absorb the heat during the day lowering the solar gain. At night the rocks give heat back into into the air as the temperature outside drops. The rock wall and the desert climate work in concert to passively cool the house. Jeremy Levine Design www.jeremylevine.com

Passive Heating Techniques - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt / .pptx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Passive solar design uses sunlight to heat buildings without mechanical devices. There are three main approaches: direct gain, indirect gain, and isolated gain. Direct gain involves south-facing windows and thermal mass to store heat. Indirect gain uses elements like Trombe walls between windows and living spaces to absorb and transfer…
