Question

Design a solar-heated home that sits on the north side of an east-west running street. If the home is located at 40 degrees North, draw a proper roof angle for maximum solar heating. Design windows, doors, overhangs, and rooms with the intent of reducing heating and cooling costs. Place trees around the home that will block out excess summer sunlight and yet let winter sunlight inside.
