[Greenbuilding] window area for solar house

[Clarke Olsen]

   My shop has just about all the glass I could fit in the south wall,  
and it comes
   to 18% of the floor area. It's usually all the heat I need (but of  
course, I'm
   working there). The trick is to capture the midday excess and reduce  
the
   nighttime losses.
