For your area, there are a lot of different schemes that could work very well. By very well, I mean that a house in the Lake Tahoe area got through winter by burning just one or two cords of wood. The house I have in mind is an envelope type house. It was in Popular Science sometime about 3 years or more back. The handbook may have a reference about it, but otherwise, i really don't know who has plans for those. There are lots more passive solar designs that would work, though. Good luck.
