 Sullivan Residence - click to see a PowerPoint slide presentation on the design, construction and performance of this house

Passive Solar Design Services
Many high-performance buildings, in addition to an airtight/superinsulated envelope, also have passive solar design elements.


These elements range from "sun-tempered" but fairly conventional construction to "direct-gain passive solar" construction, with additional thermal mass tied to south-facing glazing.
