(huh, i didn't get an email notice there was a new comment on the thread. That should be automatic, shouldn't it?)
I bought The Passive Solar House, by Kachadorian, and Passive Annual Heat Storage, by John Hait. Together they provide all the basic data i need, the issue here was really that i sought other sources only to discover the data really wasn't applicable in the end.
The Passivhaus package likely wouldn't give me enough useful information for the project we're designing to justify the cost. It's a greenhouse, atypical in numerous ways. For instance, at the moment i'm trying to get my head around how to estimate the u-value of multiple layers of ETFE plastic with air spaces between.
But so far, any data i've really gone hunting for online, i've eventually found for free.
