How to heat a passive solar house
Evel
Great project and its good your planning a home on a clean slate. I have been living with solar hot water system with a geo-thermal back-up. Its working extremely well. With the results I've had here in Canada its entirely possible to heat the home with little back-up heat.
I would suggest instead of the 2 x 6 construction investigate the foam blocks with concrete & Re-enforcement steel bar poured in the center.
