Passive solar house performance: derivation from simulation results.

Author(s) : NEWTON M. N., WARREN B. F.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The thermal performance of forty-three different house designs, incorporating passive solar features, was simulated. Taking the simulations at face value, the results indicate that in most cases the savings in auxiliary energy were largely due to the effects of insulation, with only very small savings arising from the incorporation of "passive solar" design features.
