Passive Solar Greenhouse Case Studies: http://bit.ly/2ERJKtY 

I this video I go through my basic step by step process on how to design a passive solar greenhouse. There are three main things to consider when designing a passive solar greenhouse.
1) Location 
2) Aspect Ratio
3) Cross-Sectional Shape

If you can sort these three things out then the design gets a lot easier.
