Great book with wonderful ideas. January 30, 2007 Michael H. Coates (Corydon, Iowa United States) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful I really like this book and their web site also. I am in a planning stage of building a house and at this time I think I will use the author to design my home when I am ready. They have many good ideas. Buy this book, it is a good one. Great Resource September 24, 2006 Daryl Bergquist (Blountsville, AL USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Debra Rucker Coleman's book, The Sun Inspired House, showcases passive solar houses that are comfortable the year around, light filled, beautiful, healthy for the residents, and good for the environment. These houses cut energy bills in half and cost very little additional to build. Coleman inspires the reader to want to live in a passive solar house, and walks them through the process of making that happen. Her reviews of current books, design analysis software, and websites point the way to more detailed information on all aspects of the design and construction process. With over 25 years experience working and living with passive and active solar systems, this is the book on passive solar design I recommend for prospective homeowners, architects, and homebuilders. Daryl Bergquist, Earth Steward Solar Consulting, Blountsville, Alabama A collection of home designs which blends floor plans and modification ideas with sun-inspired homes for all climates May 22, 2006 Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful A 'sun-inspired' room is sunny, open, warm in winter and cool in summer, and integrates sustainable design principles with efficiency and useful design basics. And THE SUN-INSPIRED HOUSE illustrates a range of concepts related to the sun, using fifty house plans to demonstrate integrated concepts. This is a collection of home designs which blends floor plans and modification ideas with sun-inspired homes for all climates. Blends of design and construction information provide an architect's expertise under one cover. What it lacks in glossy color photos is more than made up for in practical application designs and insider information paired with homeowner testimonials that they actually work. A top pick. Diane C.
