Anyone have plans for a proven solar space heating system? We have the perfect lot to incorporate solar heating into the house when we build. I would like to use an active system with radiant heat.
I built our last house to take advantage of passive solar heating/cooling and would like to do more this time.
If you are doing South facing passive I think you have the best going. Burning wood is a form of solar of course. Nature has just packaged it neatly for us in a concentrated form. I put a 10.5' overhang on the south side of the house with a vaulted ceiling and it works very well to gather the winter sun and exclude the summer variety. Joe
