MASEC SOLAR 80 home designs
Abstract
Plans of passive solar homes designed by ten teams from various sections of the mid-American region are presented. The energy efficient designs use up to 80% less fossil fuel energy for heating than those built to conventional construction standards. Energy conserving and passive design techniques are discussed. The design features of the ten (RidgeWay, ClaireMont, SolarWay, KirkWood, SunSource, ParkLand, CedarWood, SunRise, SunCrest, and WaterFord) homes are presented.
