Passive Solar Energy in Buildings: Watt Committee: report number 17 [Paperback]

This report indicates that the benefits that accrue to a building and its occupants from a consideration of solar radiation are greatest when the 'passive solar component' is seen in perspective, as a natural part of an integrated approach to climatically interactive low-energy building design.1.
