在八十年代中,人们经常争论被动式太阳能建筑与超级隔热建筑比较的标准,纵乎建筑设计不是两者之一,就是两者按比例的组合。 现在已有超级隔热建筑、被动式太阳能建筑和主动式太阳能系统的设计指导准则和粗略估计的方法。这些指导准则虽然对典型设计是适用的,但对于组合系统类型式对于太阳能占全部使用能量接近百分之一百的系统并不是必须遵循的。 In the 1980s, people often argued that the standards for passive solar buildings and super-insulated buildings were different, and that design was not one of the two, that is, a proportional combination of the two. There are design guidelines and rough estimation methods for super-insulated buildings, passive solar buildings and active solar systems. Although these guidelines are applicable to typical designs, systems of the type that the solar system occupies nearly 100% of the total energy used for solar energy systems do not have to be followed.
