Program Description:
Passive solar design refers to the use of the sun's
energy for the heating and cooling of homes. In this
approach, the building itself or some element of it
takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in
materials and air created by exposure to the sun.
Passive systems are simple, have few moving parts, and
require minimal maintenance and require no mechanical
systems. This workshop will discuss basic design rules
that can be used in Missouri homes. Detailed schematics
will be discussed with homeowners in breakout sessions.
Target Audience:
Any homeowner in interested living comfortably in a
naturally designed home.
Outcomes/Anticipated Outcomes:
Homeowners will gain knowledge of how they can adopt
passive strategies in their existing homes. Homeowners
that are building new homes will leave with information
for designing their new home to harness the sun for
their particular site.
