www.livingonsolar.com We have been livng in a passive solar home for over 20 years. See how we are using solar energy to heat our home.

great video it gave me a relife example of a passive solar home and how it works im looking forward to biulding my home in the next 2-3 years and gathering all the information i can to make it as ifficant as i can

@livingonsolar thats cool
If you build it, the sun will come.
I am going to build a Passive House
Nice video and it gave me some ideas for passive solar. I uploaded a video of my Grid-Tied rooftop wind turbine project, go have a look if you are interested in home wind energy. My install of rooftop wind turbines and solar panels at my house is in my videos, Subscribe to my channel if you like, I’ll be posting more stuff. Thanks
thanks
You are more than welcome to use any parts of the video for your project as long as you include acknowledgement of the source.
is it possible that i can use a clip from the times 1:10 to 1:55 for use in a project my group is making on passive solar heating? it it gives an excellent example of how a house can be built to maximize solar heat in the nothern hemishere
Builders will never be able to beat the cost of do it yourself home construction with natural materials ($10-$20 a square foot).
you need to check out the eco village at craik saskatchewan. they have a building there that gets 40% of its annual heat from passive solar. the rest is derived from geothermal. they have a 5000square foot building completely off the grid.
Im in edmonton, and i have friends living both in rock mountain house, as well as in craik saskatchewan, who live in passive solar homes which are completely off grid. it can be done. and it isn’t rocket science.
We just had 12 inches of snow over night and it is supposed to get down to -8F in a couple of days. This is the part of California without the palm trees. We are getting the same artic blast. I think you have the right idea about keeping warm during these kind of temps.
haha, as im sitting here dec13 2008, its -10F with a 30mph wind, its dark at 1630hrs and lite at 0800. and calling or -20 tonite.
i think just I’ll ‘passive’ right next to the wife. cheers

I have seen -25F here. In the extreme cold a fireplace helps. The passive design works really well when conditions are moderate.
im designing one as well only 1000 square ft, but here in alberta, canada, the temps are -40F to +80F. passive solar would have a real workout…
cheers, btw, well done vid
Hopefully we can see builders actually producing these kind of homes instead of McMansions…that is, if any are still in business…
