Looking For Sunroom Info From Past Topics

[ebass]

Hi Everyone:

  There is some info buried in one particular past topic here, and I think it was John's advice on what size sunroom would be useful passive solar heating, what to expect and not expect from a sunroom, air circulation, etc.

   I've been trying to find it here for a couple of days........no luck.......if anyone can easily recall what topic it was in, would you please let me know?

  Thanks to all of you,

Not exactly answering your question (when has this ever stopped me?), but....

Dan Chiras has an article in a recent Home Power magazine on design mistakes of people (including himself!) who want passive solar.

He does have some thinking on sizing, and thermal mass.

or this vile concoction, if your computer hates .pdf files as much as mine does tonight.

That said, I think I really do want a nice sunny room where I can look out at the bird feeders, drink my morning coffee.  Can I get by with it if I call it a conservatory?
