Passive Solar Heating and Cooling Design
Passive Solar Heating and Cooling Design
Intent
To reduce the amount of non-renewable energy required to heat and cool a home through design features which permit solar heat gains and minimize the potential for overheating.
Additional Information/How to Implement
To reduce the amount of non-renewable energy required to heat and cool a home through design features which permit solar heat gains and minimize the potential for overheating. The following diagram shows the optimum solar shading angle for Santa Fe.
