The Solar House by David Pearson

home page » sustainable design book chapter » Natural House detail page ... you are here

Solar home design is covered in glorious detail with lots of diagrams and pictures.

The Solar House
by Daniel D. Chiras $30* via free Book Rate Mail

This 274 page paperback is an excellent reference even if the author does misspell my name! While heat from sunlight and ventilation from breezes is free for the taking, few modern architects or builders really understand the principles involved. Chiras sets the record straight on the vast potential for passive heating and cooling. Acknowledging the good intentions of misguided solar designers in the past, he highlights certain egregious errors and shows how to avoid them. In methodical detail he provides contemporary home builders with all of the necessary tools for successful solar design.
