There was a time when Ladakhi people wd migrate to Delhi for winters...

It may be 18 degrees out but it’s a beautiful day here in the Adirondacks! Our big door is finally in, the sun is rising (so passive solar is coming), and we are toasty warm by the fire in the wood stove. Life is good. #woodstove #passivesolar #adirondacks #lifeisgood
We've innovated how we collect thermal energy for the Passive Solar Greenhouse. Want to learn more and design your own? vergepermaculture.ca/passive-solar-…

naša hiša se ta teden 100% greje na sonce, pa nimamo sončnih panelov (niti ful velikih steklenih površin) ... imamo pa okno višje in napušč, da se izide kot na sliki #passivesolar #hemphouse
The Dome Home in old Overland Park KS.
I just saw it for the first time yesterday. How have I not seen nor heard about this ridiculously awesome home? #BobCampbell is an architect legend.
Full grown trees inside, indoor pool, 60s vibe, #passivesolar from all the windows.

1. the sun angles are steep in summer & low in winter towards the equator
2. this means you can calculate a roof overhang that will block hot summer sun and allow winter sun in to warm you for free
