Sunrooms to capture Solar Heat

Sunrooms 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 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.

Green Home Air Quality Tips from Deer Mountain Pittsboro near Chapel Hill NC

When 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
