Renewable Energy, 1993, vol. 3, issue 2, 203-206

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a German passive solar house concept, the worldwide known Domus-Solarhome. Today it is the most well-known passive solar concept for single family houses in Germany. Five years' experience, thermal performance and operating data of a prototype, since 1980 known as the Semm's Residence in Kiel, enabled the development of the ‘Domus’ with design criteria especially for the climate of mid-Europe. The most important design criteria are discussed. The author explains the way into the market. More than 50 Domus-Solarhomes are already constructed in various parts of Germany. To sell those homes the Domus-Solarhaus Inc. was founded. Domus developed the first passive solar house for middle and low income brackets.
