I live just east of Albuquerque (Edgewood). 7,000 FT. elevation. I designed and built a passive solar house that seems to work pretty well. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I don't air condition at all and burn only one cord of wood in a typical winter. Seems to me the secret to good solar starts with a lot of mass for thermal storage...hence adobe. Then overhangs, glazing and site considerations. I have an appropriate amount of south facing glass and I heat using two solar hot air boxes sitting on the ground on the south side of my house. They run all day and deliver at about 110 degrees typically. Cheap and simple with almost zero maintenance. Drop me an E-mail if you would like to discuss. As stated in an earlier message there are lots of books on the subject. The longterm payback is sweet and leaves me extra cash to support my fleet of Saabs!
