Solar retrofit lowers heating needs in older Asheville home
Roger Sherman and Laurence Doxsey of Asheville, North Carolina, retrofitted a decades-old house to solar heating, covering 59 percent of the structure’s warmth. They expanded south and west glazing, installed Kalwall Sunlite Tubes with 96 cubic feet of water storage, and added Window Quilts and Roman shades to curb heat loss. A hybrid 4 by 19 foot solar collector on the outside wall channels warm air via a 250 CFM fan to bedrooms along the north wall.
