    The document discusses strategies for passive solar design in cold and cloudy climates. It aims to resist heat loss through methods like decreasing exposed surface area, increasing thermal capacity of building materials, and decreasing air exchange rates. It also aims to promote heat gain by reducing shading, utilizing heat from appliances, and tapping into solar heat. Cluster planning, building orientation, openings, and landscaping can influence the physical manifestation of these strategies at both the macro and micro levels. Examples mentioned include using trees as wind barriers, installing insulation, and constructing Trombe walls.
