Free heating in winter
Summer: eaves block sun
Winter: lower angle lets sun in
In winter, the sun sits low in the northern sky, streaming deep into your home through north facing windows. In summer, it travels at a much higher angle overhead. A simple roof overhang blocks the high summer sun while still letting the low winter sun in.
This free heating in winter and natural cooling in summer can significantly reduce your energy bills, without any mechanical systems.
What we look for in every plan
Living areas face north to capture winter sun
Garage on the west or south
Every north facing room has a window
Dudils is made by Good Architect, a practice that designs sustainable homes. Not everyone can afford an architect, but everyone deserves a home that faces the right way.
It costs the same to build facing the right direction as the wrong one. Passive design should be the default, not the exception.
Here is a link to our guide for dealing with project home builders.
