Passive Solar Home Project
During Spring 2014, the STEM Marin freshmen designed and built the STEM Marin Solar Studio. You can see more information about their final design and build on the main Projects page. This page and the below links are purely an example of how one might go about designing a passive solar home. It is not the design we built off of.
During the course of the second semester of Earth Science, we'll be working on a major project that will incorporate our learning of the greenhouse effect, climate change, weather, wind, climate, energy from the sun, reflection and absorption of heat, and engineering.
Our driving question for this project is:
How can we design a home that is comfortable in all conditions without the use of electricity?
I've designed a sample website that can be found at the following links:
Justification for the project

Below, you can download the Project Outline and the Team Member Responsibility Contract
