1. Passive Solar Home Design Project
By: Howard, Adam, Nitin, and Kevin

2. About this Project
Our goal was to design a passive solar home that could use as little energy as possible, while still being fully functional and luxurious. We attempted to make our design as flexible as possible in terms of location. It is able to be constructed anywhere relatively flat with enough room for our foundation.
