The Weather: historically speaking. The chart below shows the average monthly High and Low temperatures for Deep Creek Lake. This chart comes from the fantastic Weather.Com site. Click to see even more detail about Deep Creek's weather. Deep Creek has experienced some extreme temperatures in it's time. The all-time low was -27° F back in 1963, but it's never reached over 97° F. Definately a "Cold Climate" bias needed on Our Cool House.
This site is all about building a cool, energy efficient house, that makes maximum use of earth sheltered design, passive solar heating and cooling, geothermal exchange energy management, and right sizing of the house for it's designated use. The home's placement is on a south-facing hillside in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. This site describes the design process, the technologies used and the expected results. We also have a comprehensive Links Page for anyone who is also interested in designing a similar project. |
