Passive Solar Contribution to Earth Shelter Performance
Abstract
This study is concerned with the comparison of passive solar performance predictors using a passive solar earth sheltered house as the model. The two methods used are at different levels of sophistication and will be analyzed for their adaptability for use with earth sheltered houses. Also dealt with are the parameters of the earth sheltered or above ground houses that are anticipated as having an effect on passive solar performance. A typical good design for a passive solar earth sheltered house is utilized for the parametric studies that are performed using the two different performance predictors.
