The document describes a passive solar home project in Eastern Washington. It discusses three main points: 1. The harsh winters and hot summers characterize the severe climate, making the home an important demonstration of passive solar design. 2. The site offered solar access, and the design incorporated solar thermal collection, electricity production, and space heating/cooling to be highly energy efficient. 3. The shed roof home was buried under four feet of earth, offering year-round temperature stabilization and allowing the concrete roof to function as a heat sink. Windows provide light and ventilation while shutters provide insulation and snow/storm protection.
