Solar Passive Design takes into account your site’s location and orientation, prevailing weather patterns and wind directions. The end goal is to achieve a home design that is comfortable year-round with minimal additional heating & cooling requirements.

Solar Passive Design uses the climate to maintain a comfortable temperature range for the home by harnessing natural sources of heating and cooling to maintain an ambient temperatures in the home.

Using the climate and prevailing winds are energy efficient and environmentally sound means for effective cooling of a home.
