"You can...start out with high levels of insulation and build a tightly sealed home with low heating loads. ... incorporate passive-solar building principles that will reduce the heating loads. Passive-solar design strategies include facing the long axis of the house south, sizing roof overhangs appropriately, and using high-mass building materials and high performance windows. In a well-designed passive solar home, heating loads will already be minimal, so solar collectors should be able to provide even more of a home's heat."
Yes, I can agree with that general idea...
Its the specifics I seek to sink my teeth into!
