UK Self Build Experts, AC Architects. What's the point of thermal mass? – Guest blog by eco-expert Tim Pullen...

A Trombe wall is used to reduce the use of a building's heating and cooling systems through passive solar design.

Solar heating systems can slash your energy bill. We explain passive and active solar space heating so you can decide which is best for you.

What are the benefits of thermal mass in construction

From outside to inside, a Trombe wall consists of a layer or more of glass, a narrow air space, and a masonry wall coated with a dark, heat-absorbing material. Energy […]

Passive Heating Techniques - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt / .pptx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Passive solar design uses sunlight to heat buildings without mechanical devices. There are three main approaches: direct gain, indirect gain, and isolated gain. Direct gain involves south-facing windows and thermal mass to store heat. Indirect gain uses elements like Trombe walls between windows and living spaces to absorb and transfer…
