This well-worn copy of “Passive Solar Buildings” is a fascinating time capsule from the late 1970s energy crisis. Published in 1979 by Sandia Laboratories, a U.S. Department of Energy research facility, it represents the government’s efforts to promote energy efficiency and renewable sources like solar power. The book compiles data and results from various passive solar building projects, offering insights into early experiments with this sustainable architectural approach. Despite its humble appearance, this volume offers a unique glimpse into the origins of today’s green building movement. Collectors of energy history, sustainable design, or 1970s government publications would appreciate adding this scarce item to their shelves. While not pristine, the secure binding and clean interior ensure this vintage resource remains eminently readable for enthusiasts and researchers alike.
