Description
Emphasises space and water heating as the most appropriate use of the sun’s energy. Dr. Donald Aiken explains the difference between passive and active systems and stresses the value of passive systems and their cost-effectiveness. His point is illustrated with examples ranging from ancient cliff dwellings built by the Anasazi Indians to beautiful new low-cost solar houses in the Southwest and Northeast of the United States. from a swimming pool in California to a hot water installation on a tenement building in the Bronx; from Steve Baer’s drum wall in New Mexico to an attached solar greenhouse in New Hampshire.
