Specifications: 552 sq. ft. interior, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, Footprint: 32′ x 32′
Description: The main characteristics of this house include efficient use of space, while offering basic necessities and a few extras like a wood stove, good-sized computer desk and excellent passive solar design.
How this building should be oriented in order to make passive solar design working?
The floorplan is oriented so the top of the drawing (kitchen/bath) is north, the bottom (living room) is south. (All of my plans are drawn this way, with a north arrow.) This orientation provides decent solar gain, while minimizing windows on the west to prevent overheating. This design also provides a sheltered space on the east to escape the afternoon heat and wind. Always adjust roof overhangs to match the building site.
its n nice piece of structure but is it possible to do in a 2storey house, pls rply tnx, im planning to make a house made of it, thnks for the sample,, God bless
