The integrated design of the house illustrated in this course, includes a tight, well-insulated thermal envelope, passive solar heating (direct gain and Trombe wall), a wood-burning stove, natural ventilation cooling, active solar water heating, high-efficiency electrical appliances, and a photovoltaic (PV) hybrid electrical power system. This course analyzes the effects of occupant behavior separately from the effects of the building design. In addition to describing the house and its performance, this course also illustrates a recommended design process. This approach of climate-sensitive, whole-house, passive-solar design has evolved over the past 20 years, along with the development of computer simulation tools to aid in the design process.
