Sun Porch (solarium) 12/19/09



It works great to move the picnic table in for the winter and out for the summer, or not. I have had great winter gardens. Very efficient, because it harvests the sun and has lots of thermal mass to store the heat to carry through those bitter cold winter nights. In the summer the mass walls remove the heat then at night the cool desert air cools the mass walls again. It works with nature not against. This home is not like grid dependant homes, you can leave the home in the dead of winter w/o heat and it will not freeze, it heats itself.
