Solar heat is totally renewable, pollution free and requires little or no technology. It is here today and could provide up to 50% of domestic space and water heating requirements.

One or several aspects of solar energy can be incorporated into house design or renovation and this manual is a basic course in conservation and sustainable house design and invaluable in a house in which space heating is required for most of the year.
