Solar Phase-Change Dog House
The phase change system works in conjunction with solar powered fan and dampers to provide cooling and heating as needed.
Highlighting the Sustainable, Renewable and Green Building Technologies of Passive (and Active!) Solar Design

The Solar Decathlon in 2017 was held in Denver, Colorado. There were 11 competing teams that showcased energy efficient engineering feats. As the articles are written up, then will be linked. Las Vegas –...
By NORBERT M. LECHNER As we discussed in the November/ December issue, low-hanging solar-responsive design strategies reduce a building’s energy consumption and typically cost less than the high-hanging solar-collecting technologies — or nothing at...
After moving out of the mountains to the city, because I saw Styrofoam waste almost everywhere I looked, I decided to try to collect and do something with it.
This is the start of “Why I did a Styrofoam Recycling – Building Project“.
As I’ve been learning about passive solar retrofits, I’ve also learned that when a home is better insulated, while it can make the energy systems more efficient, the quality of the indoor air can...
The Ride the Rockies is a week long bike tour through Colorado. Somehow I’m participating in it.
While a person may have some really nice ideas of design and building, it’s a good idea to understand local building codes.
