I'd recommend, Passive Solar Heating Design by Ralph M Lebens Applied Science Publishers Ltd ISBN 0-85334-870-7 It would be more useful if you could dig out a TI-59 (Texas Instruments) programmable calculator and printer - the program code is listed in the book. -- Simon White simon@simonw.demon.co.uk
