Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A large number of south-facing windows would maximize both passive solar heating and the amount of natural light inside the house, especially in Maine where the sun is in the southern part of the sky for most of the year. This design takes advantage of the sun's path to provide natural light and warmth.
