Sustainability expert and author of THE NATURAL HOUSE, Dan Chiras focuses his expertise this time around on everything related to solar power and passive cooling. Energy preservations efforts in the 1970s resulted in solar-powered buildings that were often hit or miss (typical problems include design flaws and overheating). Here, Chiras attempts to correct the problems of the past with his extensive knowledge of solar power, insulation, air ventilation, air filtration, and building materials. Also included is a section dedicated to software suggestions for homeowners who plan to design their own solar-powered structures. This is an exhaustive study of solar products and solutions written in an intriguing style that reveals the author's passion for natural home living.
