The principles of passive solar heating, such as basic types of systems, their description, and the components making up any passive system are presented. Sources of data for heating requirements and available solar radiation throughout the U.S are given along with a method for estimating the rate of heat loss from a home. The use of these three inputs in a method for estimating performance of a passive heating system of specified size at a specified location is presented. The data retrieval and calculations are illustrated with numerous examples.
