Solar House: A Guide for the Solar Designer provides a unique up-to-date insight into using the most current solar technologies available today. Spanning the life of the project from specific design features to maintenance of property and equipment this book provides a comprehensive guide to designing, planning and building a solar house. Drawing on his personal experience of living in a solar house the author considers the technologies and practices needed for the design, operation, maintenance and economics of the solar home. Each of the various technologies available for space heating and cooling, domestic hot water and electric power technologies are critiqued from the owner/vendor point of view. By providing evidence of best practice and critical evaluative points for both the designer and architect, Solar House shows how best to satisfy the needs of the solar homeowner.
