Why do we want to make a Passive Solar Home?
Because the devices used in most homes is powered by energy that is created by burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, trapping UV rays and causing global warming. A passive solar home would use rays from the sun and convert it into energy. This would not cause damage to the atmosphere, reducing global warming. Some extra benefits of a Solar Home: 30% tax credits, Increased value of home, Protects against rising electricity rates, and clean energy. As the population is increasing more and more sources for more energy will be needed, if we use the suns energy we have a unlimited amount of energy without creating it. Another good reason for a passive solar home is that carbon dioxide will slowly decrease and until one day it will be completely gone so global warming would not be a problem. The average american spends around $100 per month onelecound $12,000 per year.
