Subject: [GBlist] Correct roof overhang for passive solar?


I would like to incorporate passive solar into a house I am designing that
is west of Boston.  If I design the overhang for June 21, then the house
will be exposed to some of the hot August sun.  But to shade the house from
the August sun, it will also be shaded from the April sun, when I would like
to get some warmth.  What is the recommended practice?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Jordan
