• Orienting a house to the south or slightly east of south opens south windows to accept solar gain in the winter when the sun is low in the southern sky (Figure 13.1). A southern orientation also helps to exclude solar gain in the summer when the sun is high in the southern sky. An understanding of where the sun is in the sky and how to construct shading devices to allow winter sun to penetrate while excluding summer sun is central to passive solar design.
