The Sun-Inspired House:
house designs warmed & brightened by the sun
by Debra Rucker Coleman, Architect & Owner of Sun Plans, Inc.
The content of The Sun-Inspired House evolved
from the questions that have been asked of Debra about passive solar, passive
cooling, energy efficiency and green building by home owners, builders,
engineers and architects over the last 25 years. Although the book
includes more than 50 house plans, its primary benefit comes from its in-depth
coverage of passive solar home design, green building, energy-efficient
construction, working with architects, and many other resources. The Sun-Inspired House may be
purchased directly from Sun Plans, or at bookstores. PDF format
$35 US includes shipping to locations in the United States.
Additional amounts for Canada are listed on the shopping cart.

"Many, many thanks for the copy of your new book. It is a delight to read and jam-packed with excellent information….Having all the information in one place would have given us security in going through all the choices we made. I am ordering another to give to our builder. Congratulations on a wonderful book!"
- David Young, Sun Plans Home Owner
"Her book is a good beginner's guide to understanding
passive solar design concepts and energy-efficient building strategies. The
finest compliment I can give this book is to say that it will be dog-eared by
the end of your building project."
