So I know that for a passive solar home the south face wall should have most of the glazing. Typically at least 35% should be glazed. However is their a point that having any higher a percentage of glazing does not result in any more significant solar gain?
I.E. If 70% glazed walls gets you x amount of heat, but 90% glazed walls only gets you maybe x.1 amount of heat
Knowing that even the best glazing is not as insulating as a wall, is their a 'sweet spot' of what % glazing you would need?
