brownfox-ff<p>Does anyone do passive solar heating? Do you have a greenhouse attached to your house or lots of thermal mass / tile floor / water? How did you learn how to build it? What are your favourite resources?</p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/passiveheating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>passiveheating</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/passivesolar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>passivesolar</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/heating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heating</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/house" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>house</span></a></p>
brownfox-ff<p>Book Review: "The Solar House - Passive Heating and Cooling" by Dan Chiras</p><p>Chiras covers lots of detail on passive design, solar heating, and thermal mass. He covers different techniques for capturing and storing sunlight as free heat.</p><p>He also calls out the idea of energy use in house construction decades before it was common - "you should also account for how much energy it takes to *construct* and *move* these materials".</p><p>But I wish the book had more details on how to do it. How do I calculate? Where and how do I build? I would love more details.</p><p>I learned a lot, but I still don't know anything</p><p><a href="https://brownfoxff.substack.com/p/book-review-the-solar-house-passive" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">brownfoxff.substack.com/p/book</span><span class="invisible">-review-the-solar-house-passive</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/bookreview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookreview</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/passiveheating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>passiveheating</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/passivesolar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>passivesolar</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/heating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heating</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/house" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>house</span></a></p>
