The differences between passive design and good energy conservation practices and the correlation between the passive solar contribution relative to reducing the building load from normal design practices are addressed. The potential for passive solar systems to alter residential load profiles, especially to reduce peaks for back-up energy needs is discussed. Computer code analysis techniques and capabilities required to simulate passive designs are presented.

Three configurations of thermal storage mass are considered, and computer simulation results showing the relation between external and internal temperatures for the three configurations and for different materials are presented. The results indicate that passive solar-heating systems can supply a significant portion of a building's winter space-heating requirements and can maintain relatively stable indoor air temperatures.

The technology choices now available in glazing make it possible to maximize the use of the sun's energy while minimizing the heat loss and gain associated with large expanses of glazing. Mazria Riskin Odems Inc., the architects of the Rio Grande Conservatory, an all-glass botanical conservatory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, created a striking example of what is possible through the judicious use of modern glazing technologies.
