I designed and Owner built a solar passive house in the Southern Flinders Ranges.
Winter is now nearly here. This will be my first winter with the house 100% complete.
So far my solar passive design in working really well.
The days here are characterised by clear sunny days and cold nights. Occasionally a storm passes through but clears after a couple of days.
So far the coldest my house has got down to overnight is 17 degrees and that is without any form of heating and with minimum overnight temperatures of around 0 to 3 degrees. Typically the house is back up to 20 degrees within a couple of hours after sunrise.
Has any one else designed and built a solar passive house and can comment on its effectiveness?
