Cohousing-L Mailing List: Solar in common houses, shared heating systems

[Mmariner (Mmariner]

I don't remember if there have been threads re subj. before.  I remember one
on Strawbale common houses which would usually take solar orientation into
consideration, no?

Even if a building isn't totally designed for solar heating, doesn't
orienting it so that windows are to the south and fewer windows on the north
help?  Plus the correct roofs/eaves to shade in the summer, allow sun in
winter, etc....
