Keep your mid-century house cool...with passive solar design.

Passive solar design has been around since forever. It just means that a builder makes siting and design choices that use the sun and shade to keep a building warm or cool. 

What were these choices? In modern times, but pre-HVAC systems, they included locating windows for heat gain or cooling, creating opportunities for air flow, and using the natural environment to shade or shelter homes.

Our modern and mid-century homes rely heavily on heating and cooling systems that require power, but we can still incorporate passive solar strategies to reduce our enery use and improve our comfort.   

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

• Why we stopped using passive solar design. 
• How to get big wins from small changes. 
• Key principles you can use right now to cool your home with less energy.
