Abstract | Solar energy entering the windows of a house can provide significant passive solar heating.Managing these solar gains in all seasons is important to minimizing energy use for spaceheating and cooling, particularly as house performance approaches net-zero energy. During theheating season, maximizing solar gains minimizes energy use, but can result in occasionaloverheating, especially in very energy-efficient houses with large areas of south or west facingwindows. During the cooling season, solar gains should be minimized to reduce cooling loadsand to avoid overheating. |
