Solar-powered houses, as significant representatives of green buildings, present vast prospects for application in rural areas. Researchers have conducted optimization analyses on solar energy utilization in rural dwellings in a county in southwestern Anhui Province, proposing corresponding promotion measures (Li et al. 2020).
Passive solar homes are designed with better building orientation and form and use ventilation, daylighting, shading, and other techniques to improve the house's energy efficiency. Passive solar homes also use thermal mass and effective distribution mechanisms to retain more heat.
According to the Energy Department, designing your home with passive solar design strategies can improve the building's efficiency and reduce energy costs. The ultimate goal is to get a net-zero solar home. However, passive solar design differs for houses in cold and warm climates. In cold regions, the goal is to maximize solar heat retention.
Here are six key design elements crucial for passive solar homes in cold climates: Orientation and glazing: In cold climates, proper orientation of the home is essential to capture maximum sunlight during the winter months. Maximize south-facing windows to allow solar heat gain while minimizing north-facing openings to reduce heat loss.
