Passive Solar Design
Goal – 1st Floor Window Area = 10% of 1st Floor Area Slab Area = 2-3 times the size Window Area on
1st floor Also within the range of the south facing
windows Results
Windows 1st Floor Window Area = 200ft3 1st Floor Area = 1840ft3
Window Area to Floor Area Ratio 10.9% Slab Area
Area = 780 Slab Area to Window Area Ratio = 3.9
