Where Does Light Come From?
What is Passive Solar?
A system that collects, stores, and redistributes solar energy without the use of fans, pumps, or complex controllers (without MACHINES!)
Some examples:• Direct Gain• Trombe Wall• Sunspace
Direct Gain
South-Facing windows absorb Sun directly
How it Works
Trombe Wall
South facing window has an airspace and then a wall that absorbs the heat from the Sun to heat up the room.
