Solar Design Guide
Need guide to construct Green Home in tropical climate.?
In my country, the climate is very humid and very warm all year long. I haven't been able to find real solution to Green Homes for this kind of climate and in 5 years time, i'm thinking of building my own house.
Can anyone point out where i can find resources (information and physical material) for Green Home design specifically for tropical climate?
I do have some ideas, but still need some pointers on application:
1. Dessicant dehumidifier.
2. Passive ventilation (i'm thinking of utilizing differential pressure like burrows).
3. Solar Panel (equatorial countries benefit greatly from this)
4. Vertical wind turbine (where can i get it in Malaysia?)
etc...
ok.

The Solar Kid $42.84 Adventures of the Solar kid as he is being guided into a future Solar Society. Disillusioned by the mindless materialism of the 80s and plagued by hallucinations of power outages, fires and scenes of a futuristic solar society, the Kid decides to put on a backpack and leave Midwestern suburbia and head out in search of personal truth. He hops a train heading west and begins to encounter eclectic fellow travelers and realizes that they all are far more connected than he had originally thought. Sharing a common frustration and distain for greeddriven corporations that value profit over the earth and its inhabitants, the unlikely crew ends up in Denver at a solar/nuclear celebration sponsored by political figures and corporate energy conglomerates. The crew suspects a cover up and become impassioned by their convictions, causing their activities at the gathering to change the course of the rally and their lives. The Kid finds himself in the past, present and future without warning.

Polarimetric Studies of the Solar Atmosphere $125.85 This book describes the design and development of an instrument called the Solar Vector Magnetograph or SVM. This instrument maps the magnetic field of the solar active regions. The magnetic field of solar active regions is responsible for the eruptive phenomena on the sun which expel large amounts of highenergy particles and radiation in the interplanetary space posing danger for human activities in space. The careful measurement of solar magnetic field is very important to track its evolution which may be useful for forecasting the solar eruptive events. The instrument SVM was developed by Dr. Sanjay Gosain during his Ph.D. at Udaipur Solar Observatory, India for which he received best thesis award by Astronomical Society of India. This book describes how the highcadence magnetic field measurements can be done by using a tunable FabryPerot etalon and a polarimeter. This book is useful for any solar astronomer who wishes to develop an instrument for measuring solar magnetic fields or wishes to understand how solar magnetic field is measured using Zeemaneffect diagnostics. The techniques of optical polarimetry is also discussed in depth.

A Survey of Passive Solar Buildings $35.09 This publication of passive solar projects built in the United States has been prepared to document the state of the art in passive solar design. Passive solar heating and cooling can provide a major percentage of the buildings energy requirement, while at the same time representing a heightened level of involvement for the architect in the design stages of the building. The full potential of this passive conditioning depends on a sensitive awareness of the relationship between climate, comfort, and the thermal characteristics of buildings and building materials. Passive solar systems are often misunderstood and vaguely defined. Many of the approaches to passive solar heating and cooling are at rudimentary stages, with little performance data and evaluation, few modeling techniques, and minimal published information. Yet for the building designer and the occupant, these concepts have major implications in the design and use of buildings. The purpose of this publication is to offer a working definition and a basic understanding of a number of existing applications of passive solar designs. Methods of passive solar design are not presented in this publication; nor are rules of thumb or passive solar assemblies and components. These subjects will be addressed in later publications. A reference bibliography has been included to assist the reader who desires more information and to stimulate additional individual research and testing. Passive design techniques can be integrated in an additive fashion in more typical buildings but this challenge for now, is left to the reader. Author: Dept of Housing and Urban Development/ US Department of Energy/ AIA Research Corporation Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 184 Publication Date: 2005/01/01 Language: English Dimensions: 11.00 x 8.25 x 0.39 inches |

The Physics of Solar Flares $101.96 Few phenomena have stirred the imaginations of solar scientists as much as the explosive energy of solar flares. In The Physics of Solar Flares, first published in 1988, Einar TandbergHanssen and A. Gordon Emslie approach this subject by drawing heavily on experimental data from the Solar Maximum Mission, as well as other groundbased and spaceborne instruments. The data are incorporated into many theoretical investigations. The authors put the main emphasis on understanding the underlying physical processes. Starting from the language of physics, the authors guide the reader into the more specialised concepts of solar physics. The book is divided into two main parts: four chapters set the essentials of physics needed to attack the complexities of flare phenomena, and then a further four treat different aspects of the phenomena. This important book is aimed primarily at beginning graduate students who are assumed to have knowledge of basic physics. Author: TandbergHanssen, Einar/ Emslie, A. Gordon/ Einar, TandbergHanssen Series Title: Cambridge Astrophysics (Paperback) Series Number: 14 Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 Publication Date: 2009/07/16 Language: English Dimensions: 9.61 x 6.69 x 0.60 inches |
