In-town solar condos: one developer's plan book

Article Abstract:

The La Vereda Compound condominiums use much masonry storage for their simple passive-solar systems. Elegant modern design meshes with high solar fractions in this new-old Santa Fe hillside development. They sell at $115-130 per square foot, and incorporate 25 new condos around nine existing retrofitted units on five acres five minutes by foot from the Plaza.
