New buildings can be designed to be solar oriented; naturally heated and cooled; naturally lit and ventilated; and made with renewable; sustainable materialsmdash;no matter the location or climate. In this comprehensive overview of passive solar design; two of Americarsquo;s solar pioneers give homeowners; architects; designers; and builders the keys to successfully harnessing the sun and maximizing climate resources for heating; cooling; ventilation; and daylighting. Bainbridge and Haggard draw upon examples from their own experiences; as well as those of others; of more than three decades to offer both overarching principles as well as the details and formulas needed to successfully design a more comfortable; healthy; and secure place in which to live; laugh; dance; and be comfortable. Even if the power goes off. Passive Solar Architecture also discusses ldquo;greenerrdquo; and more-sustainable building materials and how to use them; and explores the historical roots of green design that have made possible buildings that produce more energy and other resources than they use.
