Solar building study. Summary report. The Cedargrove House
Assessment of the costs and benefits of incorporating passive solar principles within the building design of a house indicated that the total annual fuel use of 23320 kWh was low for a four bedroom dwelling. The space heating fuel requirement was 85 kWh/m(sup 2) of gross floor area. The solar gain from the conservatory and south facing glazing can displace up to 25% of the heat required from the space heating system. The design of the house succeeded in providing a thermally comfortable and visually attractive environment and was well liked by the occupants. The house cost 10% more to build than an equivalent non-solar house. This is attributable to the additional cost of the conservatory which provided valuable extra space and amenity benefits. (author)
