Passive Solar Design: The Foundation for Low-Energy Federal Buildings
The Federal government, which now owns or occupies more than 500,000 facilities, is taking a look at passive solar and low-energy building designs for both new construction and renovations. Passive solar design strategies involve more than just using large, south facing windows to capture some of the sun's warmth. They also include the use of natural light (daylighting), appropriate insulation, high-performance window glazings, and optimum building layouts and orientations with respect to the path of the sun in the sky. Passive solar strategies are the foundation of low-energy buildings designs.
