What is an example of a solar room?

Examples of solar rooms include greenhouses, solariums, and sun porches. Greenhouses are the most common solar rooms. Conventional greenhouses, however, are not designed to take maximum advantage of the sun's energy.

How does a solar room work?

Many of the most successful solar rooms are separated from the house by a heavy wall that stores the heat. The wall, built of concrete, stone, brick, or adobe, conducts heat (slowly) into the house. At the same time, the wall keeps the solar room cooler during the day and warmer at night.

Where should a solar room be located?

If an east-facing solar room seems to be a good solution to either site or building problems, locate spaces such as kitchens on the east side of the house next to or behind the solar room to take advantage of the morning light and heat.

What are the most common solar rooms?

Greenhouses are the most common solar rooms. Conventional greenhouses, however, are not designed to take maximum advantage of the sun's energy. The problem is that most are built with a single layer of glass, and so they lose more heat at night than they gain from the sun during the day.
