Proposals for the design and construction of solar houses
Abstract
A series of hand-drawn pictures is presented to illustrate how to integrate solar arrays into existing (retrofitted) or new solar-house designs and how to determine solar-heat-optimal architectural forms. Consideration is also given to optimal architectural integration of heat storage systems, wind protection, and radiation surfaces into solar houses.
