METHOD 11 - Use Passive Solar Power-

 

Passive solar power is a highly effective heating and lighting method. It is simply based on the layout of window and door placement that not only will light a majority of your home without any additional energy source but also can provide adequate heat in the summer with the ability to keep your home comfortable and cool in the summer months.

 

METHOD 12 - Insulation-

 

Be sure to keep the warm air in during winter months and the cool air during summer months by adding on insulation. Be sure to insulate ceiling, walls and around windows and doors.

 

METHOD 13 - Thermal Materials-

 

To help regulate and more effectively heat and cool your off the grid home use building materials such as bricks, tile or stones. These thermal efficient materials easily absorb the heat from the sun's light during the daytime hours and slowly release the heat throughout the evening hours.
