Covering the
full life span of the project, from sighting issues
through specific design features to maintenance of the
property and equipment, this is a comprehensive guide to
designing, planning and building a solar house.
The author
uses his experience of living in a solar house to inform
the reader of the technology and practices needed for the
design, operation and maintenance of the solar home.
Each of the
technologies of the house, such as space heating and
cooling, domestic hot water and electric power
technologies, are critiqued from the point of view of the
owner/resident, with the author using his thirty years
experience of living in a solar home.

home owners who are thinking of going solar with first
hand evidence of best practice, and provides the architect
and designer with the knowledge of how to best satisfy
their clients needs.
