Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A city planner or a neighborhood activist may wish to initiate a local conservation and passive solar retrofit program but may not have previous experience in doing so. This sourcebook is designed to assist interested individuals with their energy planning efforts, from determining retrofit potential, to financing and implementing the program. An approach or methodology is provided which can be applied to determine retrofit potential in single-family residences, mobile homes, multifamily residences, and nonresidential buildings. Case studies in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are given as examples. Guidelines are provided for evaluating the economic benefits of a retrofit program through benefit-cost analysis and economic base studies at the city and neighborhood levels. Also included are approaches to community outreach, detailing how to get started, how to gain local support, and examples of successful programs throughout the US. The need for financing, the development of a local strategy, public and private financing techniques, and community energy service organizations are examined. In addition to the Albuquerque case studies, a brief technology characterization, heat-loss calculations, economic tools, and a list of resources are appended.
Download or read book The Passive Solar House written by James Kachadorian and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-31 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and Expanded Edition - Includes CD-ROM with Custom Design Software For the past ten years The Passive Solar House has offered proven techniques for building homes that heat and cool themselves, using readily available materials and methods familiar to all building contractors and many do-it-yourself homeowners. True to this innovative, straightforward approach, the new edition of this best-selling guide includes CSOL passive solar design software, making it easier than ever to heat your home with the power of the sun. Since The Passive Solar House was first published, passive solar construction expert James Kachadorian has perfected user-friendly, Windows-compatible software to supplement the design process explained in the book by allowing homeowners/designers to enter the specifications of their design and see how changing a variable will affect its energy efficiency. This is the building book for a world of climbing energy costs. Applicable to diverse regions, climates, budgets, and styles of architecture, Kachadorian's techniques translate the essentials of timeless solar design into practical wisdom for today's solar builders. Profiles of successful passive solar design, construction, and retrofit projects from readers of the first edition provide inspiration to first-time homebuilders and renovators alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A common perception with solar technologies is that they are practical only in sunny regions of the country. The sun is a source of clean and plentiful energy, but for regions of the country that experience frequent cloud cover, solar energy is typically not considered a worthwhile endeavor. In addition to the problem of limited sunshine, solar energy is often deemed to be too expensive for the average homeowner, particularly without significant government incentives. For solar technology to be adopted on a broad scale, it must make practical sense to the homeowner, not just economically, but also for an improved quality of life. Otherwise, solar technology in home construction will be limited to those who are especially motivated and can afford it. Passive solar, in particular, is often dismissed as a relic of the 1970’s. The excessive amounts of glass can lead to too much heat loss or heat gain, and the home may experience wide temperature swings, making it uncomfortable. While the complaints do have merit, they are often a result of a poor design rather than an inherit failure of passive solar systems. This thesis project attempts to demonstrate that passive solar technology can be effective in any region, even the gloomy climate of Western New York, and that it can be incorporated into an existing home cost-effectively. The project analyzed an existing single-family home and a rehabilitation proposal was developed that met the needs of the clients and incorporated passive solar technologies. A number of passive solar features were reviewed, and it was learned that the benefits of a passive solar feature often go beyond its mere cost-effectiveness. Intangibles, such as daylighting, a sense of place, plant growth, and improved market-value, contribute to the assessment of a passive solar feature."--Abstract.
Download or read book Passive Solar for Urban Tenement Housing written by Alexander W. Lohr and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies about residential passive solar heating have been conducted in many countries, mostly dealing with new or existing single family houses and nearly unlimited access to the sun. Only a few studies are related to residential projects that use passive solar in an urban context and must cope with limited solar access, fixed city layouts, and constrictive building laws (1,2,3,4). Multifamily housing in German cities accounts for a major portion of the existing building stock. A range of German energy standards try to enforce the improvement of old and poorly insulated structures by these efforts only support conservation. As yet there is no initiative to seek optimal use of available solar energies. The heat loss in multifamily housing is already reduced to a significant degree: only a small number of weather walls and windows create actual heat losses, and internal gains act as beneficial heat sources which lower the demand for space heat. With increased use of solar energy, the usual 8.5 month heating period could be substantially shortened. Calculations included in this work show the potential for reducing the annual heating season to less than three months. Case studies of two tenement building types generic to the city of Berlin describe the existing situation in Germany and explore possible approaches for improving the use of passive solar energy by combining new and innovative materials with the existing building stock. All the factors related to climatic responsible design under local conditions are explained in a step-by-step procedure suitable for use by any architectural office concerned with using passive solar energy in an urban context.
