Thomas, Nice presentation. I have a quick one for you We live here in
Warsaw, Poland and we have recently bought a new property in the outskirts
of Warsaw. The house has very good visibility from all directions but there
is not much sunlight during the winter. What do you suggest? How can we
make our property energy efficient? If possible, our goal is to have
ecological heating for home and for water:) Thanking you, Amit
Awsome video! thanks for sharing it!
the design is great… and you explain it clearly, I understand mostly the
things I dont..
a passive solar building design………!
@dassouki, good house construction usually costs $150-200/SF so a 1500 SF
house would cost about $263k, subtract 5% for conventional construction;
perhaps Maine or ND are less expensive. The beauty of passive solar is that
it is not complicated and thus will not require much maintenance. The parts
are not high-tech.
In terms of cost, how does an average 1,500 sq foot urban home let’s say in
Maine or North Dakota will cost to build in terms of building it passive or
regular? The other question is, after 10 years of building a house, how
passive is the house, does passive housing require a lot of maintenance and
upkeep? are parts easy to replace? etc
Awesome simple explanations! Hats off! 🙂
@bokomaru4 Thank you.
What a clear and concise explanation of passive solar design!! Nice
projects, too.
