Roland

Earth sheltered passive solar home

Mansfield Twp, New Jersey

The North side of the house is bermed so the North winds in winter do not effect the
structure anywhere near what it would be. The sunroom facing Winter-South has the glazing
set at 60 degrees for maximum Winter gain and minimal Summer heat. We lived here for 21
years after having designed and built it ourselves. They were wonderful years.
This is a scan from a photograph.

I remember it being so warm in that sun room in winter. Too bad the house did not stay in the family.

A beautiful structure which I am sure still functions as well as when you lived there. Voted for this lovely scan.
