This beautiful green home in Phoenix, Arizona, is an example of how site orientation can make all the difference in the energy performance of your new green home. All too often, homes are oriented to capture views without considering the path of the sun throughout the year. As a result, homes often end up losing the benefit of the warmth of the sun during the winter while overheating in the summer.
The trick is how to capture views without sacrificing the warmth of the sun . . ."free energy" . . . during the winter months while reducing the solar gain during the summer months . . . "free cooling."
Since its inception, LSSA has specialized in the design of "passive solar" homes. Over the years, the energy savings on these homes has been tremendous . . . just ask some of our happy clients. Today, these savings can only be expected to increase as energy prices soar. So why not make your new green home a wise financial decision as well as an aesthetic decision.
