conventional home?
"It's possible,” said Dave
B u rtn e r, Oregon State
University energy extension
agent. "In the eyes of the
lender, lower heating bills
from a well-designed solar

to make the monthly house
payments In fact, solar
should be more important
now than ever, precisely
because of the tight money
situation "
Affordable solar space
heating designs for new con
struction, solar case studies,
construction details and
economic analysis will be
some of the topics covered in
a free seminar presented by

need to cost a s m a ll
fortune," said Burtner
