THIS PASSIVE SOLAR SOLARIUM is a Very Special Feature of the House: Minimize or eliminate the need to have the heater on
During the late fall, winter and early spring when it is cold and sunny but when the solarium gets warm, open the front and bedroom doors and windows to the solarium and the warm air will flow in and moderate the temperature of the house. Doing that will eliminate or minimize the time needed to have the heater on and it will moderate the temperature throughout the house. Minimize or eliminate the need to have the A/C on. During the late spring, summer and early fall when it's warm to hot but the humidity is not at its highest, close the white curtains in the solarium and turn on the evaporative cooler. Then open the front and bedroom doors and windows to the solarium. Also open the windows a little in the rooms at the back of the house that you would like cooler. Doing that will eliminate or minimize the time needed to have the A/C on and it will moderate the temperature throughout the house.
