Solar Nova Scotia is excited to announce the Solar Shelter Design

"Solar Shelters" is a practical, how-to course on designing and 
building solar shelters, incluing greehouses, solaria, additions and 
especially solar homes.

This course is intended for the general public and for those in

experienced solar designer-builders, Don Roscoe.

Here's the outline:

(1) _Solar Basics_ of active and passive, an affordable approach.
(2) _Climate Control_ for comfort and health, energy and the environment
(3) _Site Designing_ working with nature
(4) _Shelter Designing_ bringing you, your needs, and your site together
(5) _Solar Construction_ ground frost insulation, heat storage slabs, glazing
     types and systems and solar mechanicals
(6) _Making It Happen_ costing, controlling costs, contracting, doing it
     yourself, case studies, and other approaches.

This course is offered as a one-weekend course at UPEI on March 4, 5,
