We create a sun room in the small rear courtyard in the home. We incorporate vents in the north end to encourage warm air to flow through the solarium and into the house.
This form of passive heating works extremely well in heating the house through the sun for free. In winter we cover the clear polycarbonate sheeting with shade cloth to keep out unwanted summer heat. The solarium is also a passive cloths dryer and an ideal spot for a hydroponics garden.
what happen if it's summer? maybe it will add more heat to your house
you need to take care of ventilation! as well. As well you can grow some veg there too. great video!! thanks
