And yet it’s your mantra…go **** yourself…

I never marched to it....

so you say…

Passive solar energy harnesses the sun’s heat directly through architectural design and building materials, without relying on mechanical devices, pumps, or electrical systems. By strategically orienting a building and utilizing specific materials, it maximizes natural heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.How It WorksPassive solar systems rely on the natural principles of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—to regulate a building's climate. A successful passive solar design incorporates the following five core elements:Aperture (Collector): Large, south-facing windows (or glazed areas) allow maximum sunlight to enter the home during the winter.Absorber: The dark, hard surfaces (such as a masonry wall or concrete floor) that sit in the direct path of the sunlight to absorb the solar heat.Thermal Mass: Dense materials (e.g., brick, stone, concrete, or water containers) located within the building's thermal envelope that absorb and store the heat gathered by the absorber.Distribution: The natural means by which the collected heat circulates throughout the house (via radiation from warm walls/floors, natural air convection, or conduction).Control: Architectural features used to regulate heat. This includes roof overhangs, awnings, or deciduous trees that block high-angled summer sun to prevent overheating.Key BenefitsSignificant Cost Savings: It can reduce a home's heating and cooling bills by 25% to 75%.Resilience: Because it does not rely on electricity or machinery, a passive solar home remains comfortable and functional even during power outages or if mechanical systems fail.Sustainability & Comfort: It provides a continuous supply of clean, renewable energy and enhances living spaces with abundant natural daylight.Passive vs. Active SolarIt is important not to confuse passive solar design with active solar systems. Active systems—such as photovoltaic (PV) solar panels or solar water heaters—convert the sun's energy into electricity or usable hot water using mechanical collectors, pumps, and wiring. Passive solar simply uses the inherent properties of the building itself to capture and manage energy.For a comprehensive guide on designing or retrofitting a home for passive solar, you can refer to the official U.S. Department of Energy Passive Solar Design Guide.

I feel sorry for the people that still burn fuel oil for heat..  They are in for a rude awakening this fall of they ain't filled up already.

Hmmm... I went to check the price of Natural Gas.. I gotta admit it is moving in a surprising direction per Google AI..  Good news for Grid Power.  Better get an LNG Vehicle..  I wish I had gotten a dual fuel generator.


 
 My shed is payed for.  I plan on minimal cost for purchase of solar heating this winter.. Grid is here for BU. The office is  8X12.. There are tons of youtubes.

Using solar heat for cooling is harder... but possible. It could be as simple as passing the air through a repurposed propane powered RV Fridge, but I doubt it.

Why do you automatically dismiss alternatives?  Why does bio gas sound so evil? I am on team let sleeping dinaosaur's  carbon lie.. We live in one constantly for the oil gharcs profit motivation.
