It's very interesting to know how many people have a solar energy house. The fact is that all of us are using solar energy house every single day (it's called passive solar building design). As long as there is the sun, we are provided with light and heat. Although there are some of us in different parts of the world get less heat, imagine what is it like without the sun. It's much worse.

Passive solar building main purposes is to maintain the interior heat comfort so that we can spend less on active heating or cooling systems. The key solar energy house uses a few concepts in maintaining the heat which is direct solar gain, indirect solar gain, isolated solar gain, passive cooling and heat storage.

Here's a few fundamentals in maximizing the solar energy for our house.

• Location. In real estate, there's "location, location, location". It's no different with your solar energy house too. By positioning your living room in the south,you are getting more sun and vice versa if you are located in the southern hemisphere.
• Landsaping. Position your trees so that it drives a cool breeze into your house while shading the house when it shines.
• Ventilation. By positioning your doors and windows to face each other will allow the cool breeze to flow naturally within the house when the air cools down from the evening of a hot day.
• Windows. Place a bigger window on the south side so that more sunlight can go into the house while getting a smaller window on the north side of the house so that the heat can be prevented from losing.
• Thermal Mass. There are many products which you can put in the house that will absorb the heat during the day and release it at night. Some examples are like polished concrete, slate floors or brick walls.

Even though it's easier to achieve full solar energy house during the planning stage, you are still able to incorporate a lot of elements into the house without having to spend a lot such as adding more glasses or changing your windows.
