Passive Solar Design
posted in Fireplace: Conserv Energy |
Whether you are designing a passive solar greenhouse/studio or you are planning where to place your spring/summer garden, keeping track of the sun is extremely important. You must determine where the shade will be and thus where microclimates will develop.
Here are some tools on Sustainable by Design’s website for tracking the path of the sun during different times during the year as well as designing that much needed overhang to block the heat of the harsh summer sun.
There are also a few other tools that are quite neat as well such as sun angle and position so you should scope at the site when you get the chance.
