Review the following parts and discuss which version is more effective in terms of page design
Sunspaces
Part -1:
Either as an addition to a home or as an integral part of a new home, sunspaces have gained considerable popularity.
A sunspace should face within 30 degrees of true south. In the winter, sunlight passes through the windows and warms the darkened surface of a concrete floor, brick wall, water-filled drums, or other storage mass. The concrete, brick, or water absorbs and stores some of the heat until after sunset, when the indoor temper¬ature begins to cool. The heat not absorbed by the storage elements can raise the daytime air temperature inside the sunspace to as high as 100 degrees Fahren¬heit. As long as the sun shines, this heat can be circulated into the house by nat¬ural air currents or drawn in by a low-horsepower fan.
To be considered a passive solar heating system, any sunspace must consist of these parts: a collector, such as a double layer of glass or plastic; an absorber, usually the darkened surface of the wall, floor, or water-filled containers inside the sunspace; a storage mass, normally concrete, brick, or water, which retains heat after it has been absorbed; a distribution system, the means of getting the heat into and around the house by fans or natural air currents; and a control system, or heat-regulating device, such as movable insulation, to prevent heat loss from the sunspace at night. Other controls include roof overhangs that block the summer sun and thermostats that activate fans.
Either as an addition to a home or as an integral part of a new home,. sun-spaces have gained considerable popularity.

Part -2:
A sunspace should face within 30 degrees of true south. In the winter, sunlight passes through the windows and warms the darkened surface of a concrete floor, brick wall, water-filled drums, or other storage mass. The concrete, brick, or water absorbs and stores some of the heat until after sunset, when the indoor temperature begins to cool.
The heat not absorbed by the storage elements can raise the daytime air temperature inside the sunspace to as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As long as the sun shines, this heat can be circulated into the house by natural air cur¬rents or drawn in by a low-horsepower fan, partil of a flounOpace
To be considered a passive solar heating system, any sunspace must consist of these parts:
1. A collector, such as a double layer of glass or plastic.
2. An absorber, usually the darkened surface of the wall, floor, or water-filled containers inside the sunspace.
3. A storage mass, normally concrete, brick, or water, which retains heat after it has been absorbed.
4. A distribution system, the means of getting the heat into and around the house (by fans or natural air currents).
5. A control system (or heat-regulating device), such as movable insula-tion, to prevent heat loss from the sunspace at night. Other controls include roof overhangs that block the summer sun and thermostats that activate fans.

The Parts of a Sunspace
To be considered a passive solar heating system, any sunspace must consist of these parts:
1. A collector, such as a double layer of glass or plastic.
2. An absorber, usually the darkened surface of the wall, floor, or water-filled con¬tainers inside the sunspace.
3. A storage mass, normally concrete, brick, or water, which retains heat after it has been absorbed.
4. A distribution system, the means of getting the heat into and around the house (by fans or natural air currents).
5. A control system (or heat-regulating device), such as movable insulation, to prevent heat loss from the sunspace at night. Other controls include roof over¬hangs that block the summer sun and thermostats that activate fan.
