Chapel Hill NC was named for the New Hope Chapel, which stood upon a hill in what is now the center of the 21 square miles of Chapel Hill NC real estate. Town lots were auctioned in 1793 when work began on the first building of the university. Many of those original lots are now in the Chapel Hill Historic District. Today, Chapel Hill is anything but a typical southern town. In fact, some say it's really not southern at all, with so many residents coming from other parts of the country and around the world. The population of just over 50,000 is diverse, consisting of professors, students, business people and retirees from all over the world. Some describe Chapel Hill as having the best of small town living in a unique cosmopolitan environment. In addition to the prominence of the nation's first state university, another attractive feature of downtown Chapel Hill is Franklin Street, named after Benjamin Franklin. This is the most vibrant downtown in the state. Day and night, the streets are filled with people enjoying a multitude of shopping, dining and entertainment options.

Sunrooms to capture Solar HeatSunrooms can feature sloped and/or overhead glass, but is not recommended for the Austin area. A sunroom will function adequately without overhead or sloped glazing. Due to long hot summers in this area, it is important to use adequate ventilation to let the heat out. Sloped or overhead glazing is also a maintenance concern. Due to the intensity of weather conditions for glazing facing the full .i.ventilation: passive design and brunt of the sun and rain, seals between the gazing panels need to be of extremely high material and installation quality.

Passive solar systems tips from Deer Mountain near Chapel Hill NCAn 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 IntroductionSolar 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.

Green Home Air Quality Tips from Deer Mountain Pittsboro near Chapel Hill NCWhen building your home, be aware of carpet and paint types, as they will affect the home’s air quality. Natural fiber carpets are best, but if at all possible it is preferable that other flooring (such as wood or bamboo) is chosen. Painting with low-toxic paints will reduce the amount of toxins in the air, which will improve the overall quality of the home. Be sure to have a good ventilation system as well, since this will keep outdoor pollutants from entering the home and will keep indoor air quality at a high level |
