Passive Solar House Plans
We offer a wide array of solar house plans and energy efficient home plans. Our solar home plans were created by architects who are well known and respected in the passive solar community. Properly oriented to the sun, homes built from passive solar house plans require much less energy for heating and cooling.
Common Characteristics of Passive Solar Home Plans:
- Requires proper orientation to the sun, with one highly glazed wall facing south
- Thermal mass in the floors beneath the south-facing windows retains the heat of the sun in winter months
- The roof overhang is set to allow the light of the low arcing winter sun in, and keep out the light of the high arcing summer sun
- Can lower energy bills dramatically, both in summer and winter months
