the power of the sun

We have been working hard on building a better, more efficient home for our clients. Through our projects in Texas and California we have made great strides in creating what is becoming the most efficient home product you will be able to find. We continue our quest with using passive solar in our design concepts.

If you are building a new home consider these thoughts as you lay out your home on the lot. Locate the suns position as it goes over your land throughout the year. Try then to situate your home to accept as much of these thermal sun rays it can into your home through the placement and sizing of your windows, eves, and awnings as well as your roof line for panel installations. You can go a step further by adding recirculating water lines into you slab flooring that can be heated by the sun and recirculated throughout to aid in your radiant floor heating. As radiant heating is much more healthy and efficient than forced air it is something we should all look into if we are building a new home.
