| This
website is dedicated to sharing information on increasing the energy efficiency
of our housing stock. Toward this end, a virtual tour of the structures
at Sage Farm in Concord, Massachusetts are presented. Approaches
presented included ways of capturing and using solar energy for heat,
light, growing plants and generating electricity. The structures displayed
in photographs here include airlocks, a greenhouse, a sun porch, a Sun
Room, a solar-heated woodworking shop, a solar-powered waterfall, and
a solar heated cabin. If we ever hope to make world peace a reality we
need to learn and implement ways to live more equitably and sustainably
on this planet. Increasing the energy efficiency of our housing stock
by increasing insulation values and making more efficient use of solar
energy are important components of that goal. |
