5 Principles of Passive Solar Heating and Cooling The Solar House; Passive Heating and Cooling by Daniel D. Chiras

6 1. Site with good solar exposure. 2. Orient the east-west axis of the home within 10 – 15 degrees of true south. 3. Concentrate windows on the south side, go for well made, low U values & low infiltration. 4. Minimize windows on the north, east, and west sides.

7 Orientation – 15° West of due South S S

9 Demonstration of “Passive Solar” Concept – Sun Angles, Etc.

10 House is oriented on east-west axis – passive solar heat gain 24 Inch Overhangs Protection from Summer Sun – passive cooling Deciduous Trees Shade and Cool the House – also passive cooling

11 Triple-Pane Glasse Low-e Coatinge

12 5. Provide overhangs and shade to regulate solar gain. 6. Insulate ceilings, walls, floors, and foundations. 7. Provide the appropriate amount of thermal mass. 8. Protect insulation from moisture.

13 8” SIPs, R-32 12” SIPs, R-48 6” SIPs, R-2411” ICFs, R-22

14 4 inch thick concrete slab with bluestone on top in LR & DR areas, retain solar gain

15 Temperatures of Floor from Passive Solar Gain (heating) Sunday, February 10, 2013 72° 74° 77.5° 80° 76.5°

16 Programmable Thermostats

17 WINDOWS AND DOORS: MAIN FLOOR - SOUTH SIDE WINDOWS AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS ARE TRIPLE PANE, WITH DOUBLE CELL, CELLULAR BLINDS AS WINDOW TREATMENTS.

18 9. Design house so that rooms are heated directly and for optimal natural heat distribution. 10. Create sun free zones for computer work and viewing television. 11. Seal leaks and cracks but ensure adequate fresh air ventilation.

19

20 12. Provide efficient, properly sized, environmentally responsible, back-up heating and cooling systems. 13. Protect home from winter winds with landscaping or earth sheltering. 14. Design interior space to correspond with solar gain and living patterns. The Solar House Book by Daniel D. Chiras
