The book has general wear around the edges and corners as well as staining primarily on the front cover. A relatively early attempt at a comprehensive review of passive solar technologies and applications that provides an insightful snapshot of the industry and technologies in the last quarter of the Twentieth century. One of the most important sections of the work is the chapter Honoring George Frederick Keck and William Keck as solar pioneers. A collection of papers illustrating the use of passive solar design are presented. Solar design is traced from over a century ago to the present. Discussed are design considerations for the mass market, products which enhance the application of passive solar techniques, market and financing problems. Window design is discussed in terms of glass, air infiltration, air movement, thermal transfer and use as solar collectors. The use of underground buildings is presented from a historical aspect and with consideration for structural design, economics and quality of life. In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices. The key to designing a passive solar building is to best take advantage of the local climate performing an accurate site analysis. Elements to be considered include window placement and size, and glazing type, thermal insulation, thermal mass, and shading. Passive solar design techniques can be applied most easily to new buildings, but existing buildings can be adapted or "retrofitted". Passive solar technologies use sunlight without active mechanical systems (as contrasted to active solar, which uses thermal collectors). Such technologies convert sunlight into usable heat (in water, air, and thermal mass), cause air-movement for ventilating, or future use, with little use of other energy sources. A common example is a solarium on the equator-side of a building. Passive cooling is the use of similar design principles to reduce summer cooling requirements. Some passive systems use a small amount of conventional energy to control dampers, shutters, night insulation, and other devices that enhance solar energy collection, storage, and use, and reduce undesirable heat transfer. Passive solar technologies include direct and indirect solar gain for space heating, solar water heating systems based on the thermosiphon, use of thermal mass and phase-change materials for slowing indoor air temperature swings, solar cookers, the solar chimney for enhancing natural ventilation, and earth sheltering. More widely, solar technologies include the solar furnace, but this typically requires some external energy for aligning their concentrating mirrors or receivers, and historically have not proven to be practical or cost effective for widespread use. 'Low-grade' energy needs, such as space and water heating, have proven over time to be better applications for passive use of solar energy.

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. Baxter, Ken (Illustration) Ilustrador. First Edition. First printing with full number-line beginning w/1. Heavy pictorial semi-glossy boards, moderate shelf wear, bump. Pages near fine, small stamp at endpaper: "Feb. 24, 1983". Small similar stamp to lower exterior text block: "John A. Kumor". Illustrated throughout with photos, illustrations, and basic plans, etc. to construct your own earth home. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Scarce, near very good first edition. Includes rare ephemeral leaflet summarizing with illustrations the purpose and potential of this volume. Excerpt: "Compilation of the experiences of others as tempered and translated through my own store of knowledge and experience. Throughout, my goal is to provide you with information rather than instruction. It would have been a lot easier to take specific site and climate conditions and provide specific instructions for design and construction. While that approach is not without merit, it cannot provide the reader with the information needed to make a decision. My aim has been to provide many reasonable alternatives in design and construction practice so that you, with the help of professionals, can choose the unique combination of features that fits your site and satisfies your needs." This valuable guide presenting design and construction of earth-sheltered houses is useful both those who want to build their own and those who want to hire engineers and builders. With detailed text and illustrations, this volume covers: site selection and soil evaluation; basic design options and floor plans; passive solar designs; construction methods and materials; insulation and waterproofing; electrical systems; plumbing, lighting and heating; and, humidity control, ventilation and natural cooling. The author, Herb Wade, takes the reader on a tour of earth-sheltered homes built all over North America - homes that are spacious, attractive and comfortable in every way. Underground houses are heated and cooled for a fraction of the cost of maintaining comfort in aboveground houses. Their physical security, low maintenance, low operating costs, sturdy construction, and noise and dust control further enhance their attractiveness. Building Underground tells why, and how, thousands of owners are enjoying the benefits. 289 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
