  1. Passive Solar Energy By Emmi Miller and Jenny Sulouff

  2. Defining Passive solar energy • Passive solar design refers to the use of the sun’s energy for the heating and cooling of living spaces. In this approach, the building itself or some element of it takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in materials and air created by exposure to the sun. Passive systems are simple, have few moving parts, and require minimal maintenance and require no mechanical systems.

  3. Uses of passive solar energy • Make a side show of the items that can use solar energy.

  4. Passive energy in History • Was used over 2500 years • Greece • Cities • Streets • East-west, and North-south • Housing Materials • Rome • “Sun Furnace” • mica or glass

  5. In history continued • The English Dutch • South facing green houses • Exotic plants in winter • Night time canvas covers http://www.californiasolarcenter.org/history_passive.html
