Cob: second structure spacingAmanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comWed Mar 5 06:04:29 CST 2003
My own feeling was that you didn't want to use December 21st. But something more along the lines of October 20, or whenever you want to start getting the sun on your floor most years, and give yourself a bunch of room towards the east so that morning sun hits the floor earlier (and later--late February?) in the year than the setting sun. But yes, it's a triangle problem, with how to fish the solution out nicely stated here. And I expect it works for overhangs as well. Darel wrote: It's a simple triangle problem. Most likely winter's when you want the solar energy coming in. The lowest altitute of the sun is at December 21st. This is the degree of one of the angles in the triangle, 90 degrees is the other. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
