Passive solar systems tips from Deer Mountain near Chapel Hill NC

An isolated gain system has its integral parts separate from the main living area of a house. Examples are a sunroom and a convective loop through an air collector to a storage system in the house. The ability to isolate the system from the primary living areas is the point of distinction for this type of system. (See Figure 3)

The isolated gain system will utilize 15 - 30% of the sunlight striking the glazing toward heating the adjoining living areas. Solar energy is also retained in the sunroom itself.

Sunrooms (or solar greenhouses) employ a combination of direct gain and indirect gain system features. Sunlight entering the sunroom is retained in the thermal mass and air of the room. Sunlight is brought into the house by means of conduction through a shared mass wall in the rear of the sunroom, or by vents that permit the air between the sunroom and living space to be exchanged by convection.

The use of a south facing air collector to naturally convect air into a storage area is a variation on the active solar system air collector. These are passive collectors. Convective air collectors are located lower than the storage area so that the heated air generated in the collector naturally rises into the storage area and is replaced by return air from the lower cooler section of the storage area. Heat can be released from the storage area either by opening vents that access the storage by mechanical means (fans), or by conduction if the storage is built into the house.

Passive Solar Design Introduction

Solar energy is a radiant heat source that causes natural processes upon which all life depends. Some of the natural processes can be managed through building design in a manner that helps heat and cool the building. The basic natural processes that are used in passive solar energy are the thermal energy flows associated with radiation, conduction, and natural convection. When sunlight strikes a building, the building materials can reflect, transmit, or absorb the solar radiation. Additionally, the heat produced by the sun causes air movement that can be predictable in designed spaces. These basic responses to solar heat lead to design elements, material choices and placements that can provide heating and cooling effects in a home.

Passive solar energy means that mechanical means are not employed to utilize solar energy. Passive Solar Guidelines: greenbuilder.com

Wooded lots in Deer Mountain west of Jordan Lake near Chapel Hill

If you are a lake enthusiast and you want to live on a private wooded community, then you will want to consider the new community of Deer Mountain west of Jordan Lake south of Chapel Hill. Just a 20 minute drive to Jordan Lake's nearest public access area. You can even have room for your boat with no covenants to limit its storage or placement on your lot. Lots are large and some have a hill top view. This promoting green community offers wooded privacy.

Because we saw a need for having lots available for those who may also just want to live simply, we have set the square footage minimums lower than is usual for this area to allow for the option of more sustainable living. The primarily mature hardwoods found in Deer Mountain beckons you to choose a home style that creates a continuity with the outdoor space. There is an opportunity here for creating inspiring artist's spaces.

The community infrastructure is designed to minimize maintenance. Utilities are all underground. The roads are paved and built to NC DOT standards.
