Saves Costs
Passive solar energy can reduce monthly energy expenses by 13.8 percent.
All heat and light generated by your passive solar system is free.
No Equipment to Buy or Maintain
Homes with passive solar systems do not require central heating or air conditioning systems.
Passive solar systems require no maintenance, as there are no filters to change or ducts to clean.
Environmental Benefits
Passive solar design is a completely clean energy source. It produces no harmful fumes, pollutants or emissions that can harm the environment.
Solar Daylighting Windows
Solar daylighting primarily occurs through large windows. Buildings that use solar daylighting require specific placement and spacing of windows. For example, windows that are higher up on a wall distribute sunlight better.
