Solar Nova Scotia is pleased to announce the next course of Solar Shelter
Design, a practical, how-to course on designing and building solar
shelters, incluing greehouses, solaria, additions and especially solar
homes.
This course is intended for the general public and for those in design and
construction. The main instructor is one of Canada's most experienced
solar designer-builders, Don Roscoe.
Here's the outline:
(1) _Solar Basics_ of active and passive, an affordable approach.
(2) _Climate Control_ for comfort and health, energy and the environment
(3) _Site Designing_ working with nature
(4) _Shelter Designing_ bringing you, your needs, and your site together
(5) _Solar Construction_ ground frost insulation, heat storage slabs, glazing
types and systems and solar mechanicals
(6) _Making It Happen_ costing, controlling costs, contracting, doing it
yourself, case studies, and other approaches.
The 2-Saturday course will be offered in Halifax on April 13th & 20th, and
the six-weekday-evening course in Bridgewater, on Wednesdays starting April
10th.
Fee for the course is $80 for individuals and $140 for couples. The
textbook for the course is Solar Nova Scotia's _Solar Shelter Manual_
