RE: [papercreters] Passive solar papercrete homes?

In my mind papercrete is best used with passive solar. Even if you live in a place that gets less sun, why not take full advantage of it. You can always have insulated drapes or shades for times when you want to keep the heat in.

Subject: [papercreters] Passive solar papercrete homes?

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.livinginpaper.com . We are designing an integrated passive
solar home for me in Tucson.

In the Texas hill country, check with Mason Greenstar
http://www.masongreenstar.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?

Thanks,

Vince
