    UNIT 2
    Direct Gain Thermal Storage of Wall and Roof - Roof Radiation Trap -
    Solarium - Isolated Gain
    Passive solar design integrates a combination of building features to
    reduce or even eliminate the need for mechanical cooling and heating
    and daytime artificial lighting.
    Passive solar heating techniques generally fall into one of three
    categories:
    1.direct gain,
    2.indirect gain,
    3.and isolated gain.
    Direct Gain

    Sunlight is admitted to the space (by south facing glass) and virtually all of it is converted to
    thermal energy.
    SUN----LIVING SPACE ----STORAGE MASS
    Characteristics of Direct Gain Passive System
    Masonry Wall Water Wall Diffusing Glazing

    This passive solar design


    approach uses the basic
    elements of collection and
    storage of heat in
    combination with the
    convection process.
    •In this approach, thermal
    storage materials are
    placed between the
    interior habitable space
    and the sun, so there is no
    direct heating.
    A direct gain system has the following components;
    • Glazing
    • Thermal mass
    • Insulation
    • Ventilation
    • Shading
    Glazed Windows
    Fresnel Lens
    Indirect Gain
    • Sunlight enters through the glass and is immediately absorbed at the
    surface of the storage wall where it is either stored or eventually
    conducted through the material mass to the inside space.
    1. It may be made of concrete, masonry, adobe, and
    is usually located on the southern side (in the
    Trombe wall northern hemisphere) of a building in order to
    maximize solar gains.
    Instead of using masonry, water can be used as
    the thermal mass of a Trombe wall.
    Water Wall Due to convection currents within the water
    itself, heat is transferred through the entire
    thermal mass much quicker than a masonry
    wall that relies solely on conduction. This can
    be useful when a shorter delay in heat delivery
    is required.
    Solar Chimney / Thermal Chimney
    Roof ponds
    • A thermal Storage Roof
    • In this roof pond system, water is
    stored in black plastic bags on a
    metal deck roof and during a winter
    day the sun heats the water bags
    • The heat is quickly conducted down
    and radiated from the ceiling into
    the living space
    • At night, movable insulation covers
    the water to keep the heat from
    being lost to the night sky
    • Not only heats passively in winter
    but also passive cooling in the
    summer.
    Roof Trap Radiation
    Prof. B. Givoni developed the Roof
    Radiation trap System
    The glazing on the roof is tilted to
    maximize winter collection at any
    latitude (Tilt = latitude + 15o)
    After passing through the glazing, the
    solar radiation is absorbed by the black
    painted concrete ceiling slab.
     The building is heated by radiation from the ceiling.
     The sloped roof is well insulated and a movable shutter can reduce
    heat loss through the glass at night.
     This system can also be adapted for summer passive cooling
    - SOLAR COLLECTION
    Isolated Gain AND STORAGE are
    thermally isolated
    from the LIVING
    SPACES of the building
    - It thus allows
    COLLECTOR &
    STORAGE to function
    somewhat
    independently of the
    building, while the
    building can draw
    from them as its
    thermal requirements
    dictate.
    Sun space / Solarium
    • A sun space or solarium is the combination of direct and
    indirect gain systems.
    • The solar radiation heats up the sun space directly, which in
    turn heats up the living space (separated from the sun space
    by a mass wall) by convection and conduction through
    the mass wall.
    • In the northern hemisphere, the basic requirements of
    buildings heated by sun space are (a) a glazed south
    facing collector space attached yet separated from the
    building and (b) living space separated from the sun
    space by a thermal storage wall.
    • Sunspaces may be used as winter gardens adjacent to the
    living space.
    Green House
    • The greenhouse acts as a solar collector, building up the sun-heated
    air.
    • The air circulates by natural convection to an insulated earth bed,
    where it is stored and can be retrieved when needed
