As the result of increasing interest in the application of passive solar techniques to the heating of buildings, the need has arisen for a document which will assist construction of additional passive experiments by presenting actual test data on several quite successful passive buildings. The buildings are situated in a variety of locales and demonstrate the use of direct gain, Trombe wall, solar greenhouse, and roof pond with movable insulation principles. The report also contains a discussion of the methods for determining the heating and cooling needs of a passive solar building and includes timely information from several recently documents relating to passive solar design. published References are included for additional information
