Description
Covering the full life span of the project, from siting issues through specific design features to maintenance of the property and equipment,
this is a comprehensive guide to designing, planning and building a solar house.
The author uses his experience of living in a solar
house to inform the reader of the technology and practices needed for the design, operation and maintenance of the solar home. Each of
the technologies of the house, such as space heating and cooling, domestic hot water and electric power technologies, are critiqued from
the point of view of the owner/resident, with the author using his thirty years experience of living in a solar home. This provides home
owners who are thinking of going solar with first hand evidence of best practice, and provides the architect and designer with the knowledge
of how to best satisfy their clients needs.
Audience
Architects and designers - professional and student. Building contractors, techie self-builders.
