If you want to save yourself some $ on heating bills and you have a south facing wall you can build a sunroom and take advantage of solar gain. If it is sunny out, even on the coldest days of winter, I can heat my whole house just on the sun. I have a little fan and 2 openings entering the house, French doors, to circulate the heat. Really unbelievable how much heat you can get from passive solar and could never imagine going without it. It also saves me from my seasonal light deprivation I go thru each year about this time. Nothing better than sitting out there on a 20 degree Jan. day and have it close to 90 in the sun room. Anyone with some common sense can build it too. This structure is 20 plus years old and there is much better materials and science out there now to make it even more efficient. I have a donated pellet stove for the days of no sun. P.
