“The Passive Solar House: The Complete Guide to Heating and Cooling Your Home,”
by James Kachadorian (Chelsea Green, $40)
Nearly 10 years ago, James Kachadorian’s “The Passive Solar House,” became a top-selling guide on how to harness energy from the sun. This revised and expanded second edition offers new examples of successful passive solar design, construction, and retrofit projects completed by readers of the first edition. The book also includes a CD-ROM supplement with the author’s own solar design software that allows homeowners to enter design specifications and see how changing a variable in their own home will affect its energy efficiency.
