Passive Solar
Where Does Light Come From?
What is Passive Solar?
A system that collects, stores, and redistributes solar energy without the use of fans, pumps, or complex controllers (without MACHINES!)
Some examples:
• Direct Gain
• Trombe Wall
• Sunspace
Direct Gain
South-Facing windows absorb Sun directly
How it Works
Trombe Wall
South facing window has an airspace and then a wall that absorbs the heat from the Sun to heat up the room.
How it Works
What if you still want light?
Sunspace
Collects heat for the main part of a building with a secondary room that is like a Green House.
How it Works
