Welcome to Chatham County





Welcome to Chatham County NC. Chatham County NC real estate has become popular for high end developments and golf communities. Even with the development of the past ten years, Chatham county still offers a country life style that is separate from the pace of the high tech, medicine and biotech that defines much of the Triangle. Don't expect to find a sushi bar or stoplights in Chatham county. Instead, the nearest restaurant probably serves pork barbecue and the roads stroll through woods and by fields without a need for electronic traffic control. If a life with fewer stoplights appeals to you, check out the communities of Chatham County.

Sunroom  Tips from Deer Mountain Pittsboro near Chapel Hill NC

Sunrooms can feature sloped and/or overhead glass, but is not recommended for the Austin area. A sunroom will function adequately without overhead or sloped glazing. Due to long hot summers in this area, it is important to use adequate ventilation to let the heat out. Sloped or overhead glazing is also a maintenance concern. Due to the intensity of weather conditions for glazing facing the full .i.ventilation: passive design and brunt of the sun and rain, seals between the gazing panels need to be of extremely high material and installation quality.

A thermal wall on the back of the sunroom against the living space will function like the indirect gain thermal mass wall. With a thermal wall in the sunroom, the extra heat during the day can be brought into the living space via high and low vents like in the indirect gain thermal wall.

More elaborate uses of the heated air generated in the sunspace can be designed into this system, such as transferring the hot air into thermal mass located in another part of the house.

Passive Solar Heating

Two primary elements of passive solar heating are required:

There are three approaches to passive systems - direct gain, indirect gain, and isolated gain. The goal of all passive solar heating systems is to capture the sun's heat within the building's elements and release that heat during periods when the sun is not shining. At the same time that the building's elements (or materials) is absorbing heat for later use, solar heat is available for keeping the space comfortable (not overheated).
