The great secret that has undoubtedly eluded your local "professional" house-builder is captured in two words: Passive Solar. Low tech, very effective, well understood by the "uncivilized" and "primitive" inhabitants who preceded us here in the good old US of A, passive solar design is making a come-back. Find out all about it on Saturday, June 14.
What: Guilford Solar Monthly Meeting.
When: 10:00AM - 11:30AM, Saturday, June 14, 2008.
Where: Barn Kitchen Meeting Room, Guilford County Agricultural Center, 3309 Burlington Rd., Greensboro, NC 27405.

Description: This month’s presentation will be about Passive Solar Design. Passive Solar is the system of making use of the sun’s energy without mechanical devices. It’s a system that was already used by the native Indians, but was “forgotten” in the modern world due to the availability of air-conditioners and heaters. Passive solar principles are now slowly making a comeback in buildings in the US.
