Green Building 101: Design
The shape, massing, and orientation of our homes and other buildings greatly affect the amount of energy required for heating and cooling. They also affect durability and comfort. Tuning these design elements to use the sun for free heat and light is known as passive solar design. Arranging the rooms of a house so that our daily routines follow the sun allows further use of free energy.

Hope to see your happy faces at Gander Mountain Tuesday May 27th 5:30-? Bring your appetite for lots of yummy fresh organic snacks and coffee provided by Black Dog Coffee Roasters from Summit Point West VA.
