"With all due respect, I don't fully understand the purpose of this type of "almost-layman's home guide to designing your house" book. I mean, if I were planning on heating my house solely with sunlight, you'd be damn sure I'd want an engineer involved. I mean, there's just a lot that could go wrong. But yet I keep reading books like this, even though I am in no way qualified to do energy modeling (nor do I particularly care how many inches of concrete you need in which specific climate). Sigh."
"This book has excellent examples of calculations for passive solar design. It's not the first book I would read on the subject because of its technical nature, but it was a great follow-up to the Chiras book."
