Re: [papercreters] Passive solar papercrete homes?

Summer heat and humidity are the big issues in East Texas.  Want passive solar elements to warm house in winter (plus a woodstove), but will spend as many or more days cooling it, which is harder to do without some mechanical means. Would love to find a house in a similar environment that we could drive to for a look-over.  Any ideas?

To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2009, 7:07 PM Hi Diana, I just finished two days of design work with Joyce Plath, also the architect for Barry Fuller's Papercrete Palace One/Plath Manor, http://www.livingin paper.com . We are designing an integrated passive solar home for me in Tucson. In the Texas hill country, check with Mason Greenstar http://www.masongre enstar.com , I am not sure, but suspect that some of their homes have at least some passive solar elements. Many of the papercrete homes that I have seen integrate some passive solar elements, although they may include auxiliary heat sources. How pure a passive solar design do you need in East Texas?
