I love creativity revolving around the simplest of concepts. I imagine you could incorporate a very simple geothermal system as well for the summer time, such that rising air heated by the Trombe Wall is replaced with air that passes through 10 feet of earth, where the temperature is generally about 60 degrees all year. That would be some pretty fantastic air conditioning! Saving..... Post Reply Close Saving..... Edit Comment Close loading....

Makofske August 2004Passive solar has been used for thousands of years Southwest United States: Passive solar has been used for thousands of years Southwest United StatesAdobe solar architecture: Adobe solar architecturePassive Solar Design: Passive Solar Design Passive solar heating is defined as using solar energy incident on windows, skylights, greenhouses, clerestories, mass walls, and thermosyphoning collectors in order to provide heating for a house. Generally such solar collection occurs passively, without the extensive use of pumps or fans typically used in active solar collector systems. However, the distribution of the energy collected sometimes uses small fans to redistribute the energy throughout the house. Because heating is needed only over the colder part of the year (Sept. to May), passive solar design must also eliminate unwanted solar heat gains during the summer. The use of techniques to eliminate solar gains and to cool a house with the use of active systems is often referred to as passive coolingTypes of Passive Systems: Types of Passive SystemsDirect Gain Systems: Direct Gain Systems Sunlight incident on transparent surfaces allows the energy to enter the living space directly and is called Direct Gain. South facing windows thus form the basis for the simplest type of solar heating system. With some simple guidelines, this design is the cheapest and best way to incorporate solar into a house.Direct Gain Passive Solar Design: Direct Gain Passive Solar Design Surfaces should be generally facing south (to within 20 degrees) Overhangs should prevent unwanted summer gains (2 ft typical at 40 degrees latitude) Window area should be 8-12% of the house floor area if no extra thermal mass is added This amount of passive solar gain should provide no more than 40-50% of the yearly heating load More area may be possible if additional thermal mass is added. PRECAUTIONS Excess window area can result in a loss of privacy, too much glare, underheating and overheating Movable insulation should be designed to be easy to install and useA Simple Direct Gain System: A Simple Direct Gain SystemA Simple Direct Gain Home: A Simple Direct Gain HomeGood design is based on combining several elements and ideas: Good design is based on combining several elements and ideasThe Sun’s Seasonal Path This path is hemisphere and latitude dependent: The Sun’s Seasonal Path This path is hemisphere and latitude dependent40 Degree Latitude Sun Chart showing altitude and azimuth angles for different months of the year and times of the day: 40 Degree Latitude Sun Chart showing altitude and azimuth angles for different months of the year and times of the daySite Plan Don’t shade the south, except for overhangs, but do shade the east and west sides.
