    Passive solar design utilizes building orientation, glazing placement, thermal mass, and insulation to minimize mechanical heating and cooling needs. Direct gain systems use glazing to directly heat interior thermal mass like floors or walls. Trombe walls incorporate glazing and a thermal mass wall to preheat ventilation air. Sunspaces separate glazing from living spaces with a thermal mass partition. Sizing guidelines specify glazing and thermal mass areas based on location. Photovoltaics convert sunlight to electricity while solar panels produce hot water.

    Passive Solar Heating
    Three major types:
    Thermal Mass
    Creates time lag for
    indoor air temperature
    changes and reduces
    temperature swings

    Note: Temperature swings ≥ 13ºF


    are not acceptable L: p. 154, F7.6c&d
    Thermal Mass & Insulation
    Insulation decreases temperature swings
    Direct Gain System
    Heat gain occurs directly in living space

    Mass moderates the “greenhouse effect”

    If glazing is 8’ tall, how long is the


    window?
