Summer in a Solar House

The day is getting hotter, and house is staying cool, without contraption or expense - six years in a passive solar house taught us lots of lessons. Lesson One: it took the house one FULL year to become functional. It needed time to "charge", will coolness and heat, to adjust to solar cycle. Lesson Two: Close the windows in the morning (that is for summer days, of course) - inside is between 72F and 75F (in the greenhouse), outside anywhere from 86F to 100F. read more about our house and how it cleans its own waste at http://www.permaculture.org/nm/index.php/site/Permaculture-Our-House/
