Title: Passive-solar techniques for the mobile/modular housing industry

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5733525· OSTI ID:5733525

Using a fairly typical mobile home design, it is shown that state-of-the-art mobile/modular housing and passive solar techniques can be used together. Computer simulations are used to analyze the concept. Size conditions at a mobile home park are considered. Glazing orientation, shading, and thermal storage are included in the analysis. (LEW)
