Northern Protective Coatings
First, let's make sure we are clear that the issue we are talking about using * * passive solar energy. If instead you are interested in active solar energy, read this article.
Passive solar energy has been known for centuries, and indeed, could be called "the first foundation of the house. Use solar design direct liability to harness energy from the sun without any equipment. Allows use of solar heat in the form of solar heat without loss of efficiency in converting a type of energy to another. An important advantage is that you can do as part of a remodel, and can be done in stages.
Facing the sun (in the Northern Hemisphere)
The most basic thing you can do, and most essential, is to install the windows facing south to allow the winter sun at an angle of the sun shine in. If you can not do inside, no solar heating at all. Most glass window allows better penetration of sunlight to an inclination 15 degree south exposure. At larger angles, most of the light is reflected.
Use cut and Overhangs
Good Planning sun angles can also be put to good advantage where cold winters and hot summers, through the intelligent use of the overhang. The eaves of the roof proper angle and size, placed at the correct distance on a window facing south will allow the winter sunlight to flood the low internal while acting to block the summer sunlight of high angle to maintain the same windows in the shade. If you're so inclined, you can calculate these dimensions, and will lower heating and cooling bills all year thtoughout.
Using thermal mass
There is no getting around the fact the sun shines only during the day (unless it is so far north or south do not receive sunlight throughout the winter, in which case the issue is debatable). If you want to keep your house warm during the night, you need a way to absorb energy from the sun. Installation of thermal mass, where the hot sun when can, and radiates heat at night. The thermal mass can be covered with concrete tiles, preferably in a dark color, or anything else that absorb energy the sun and then cool slowly.
Protect Catch The Heat
Do not let him escape. Carefully insulate the walls, ensure that all windows are tight, and cover the windows with heavy curtains or thermal protective coatings.

Protective Coatings and Thin Films: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications $499 This expertly written book offers a comprehensive survey of the latest advances in surface engineering, particular emphasis being placed on the functionality of protective coatings and the relationships between properties, performance and experimental parameters used for the deposition of films on a variety of substrates. Topics covered include protection against wear, erosion, corrosion, and friction, plasma assisted physical and chemical vapour deposition processes, low friction coatings operating in a hostile environment, polymer films for protection against mechanical damage and chemical attack, film structure characterization and correlations with mechanical properties, wear and corrosion resistant thermal spray coatings, functional gradient ceramic/metallic coatings produced with high energy laser beams, and energetic deposition processes for high temperature applications, protective coatings for optical systems, and ion beam assisted deposition for protection against aqueous corrosion. Fundamental, scientific, technical and economic aspects of both R&D and applications are dealt with in detail. Audience: A handbook for engineers and scientists and an introduction for students in materials science and surface engineering. |

Plaster, Render, Paint and Coatings $39.75 Plasters, paints and coatings are what define surfaces, create spatial effects and interplay with light. How they are used is decisive for a building''s appearance, and they also serve as a protective layer. A new volume in the DETAIL practice series, Plaster, Render, Paint and Coatings presents a survey of impressive proven and innovative solutions. The authors describe and define the basic essentials, show what to look for and offer valuable tips for practical applications. Taking two example buildings, the authors also document the structural design of all important connection points at a scale of 1:10. - New building or renovation: solutions for the application of plaster and paint - Guide: Which paint for which surfaces? - Design details for solutions with external thermal insulation composite systems -Separate manufacturer''s guidelines for plasters and paints - Documentation for 8 selected examples |
