The window thus solar radiation coming through the glazing is included in the model to reflect internal solar heat gains and heat losses through a whole wall module. This approach represents a more accurate heat exchange through examined wall and therefore would result in more plausible values of OIT. As seen in Fig. 1, the analysed wall is composed of an …
The SolarWall® is secured to the building with a specially designed metal frame. The air is first heated and then rises to the top of the SolarWall® through natural convection before fans pump it directly into the building or HVAC system.
Gone are the days when solar panels were confined to the rooftops; today, they are an integral part of the building's architecture, transforming vertical walls and sides into sources of clean, renewable energy.
As for space heating, active solar air heating systems namely building-integrated solar thermal system (BIST) are usually adopted. In this case, solar collectors mounted on the roof or façade warm the fresh air, and an electrical-powered fan circulates the hot air into the building, providing warm, clean space heating, as shown in Fig. 20.
The application of passive solar designs can be demonstrated through the building design (namely, “passive architecture”) and passive devices. In the former, a passive solar building utilizes solar gains to reduce the energy that would otherwise be consumed in performing the functions mentioned above.
A solar house based on this concept has also been constructed in Jordan (1983–1984) with two sections, namely the heated section and the non-heated space. Ta'ani et al. 62 reported that it is possible to meet 54% of the building's heating demands by solar energy with collector array efficiency with proper retrofitting.
The general principles of these solar systems encompass the collection, storage, and distribution of the sun’s energy. Solar energy is converted into thermal or electrical energy in all the technologies. The characteristics, examples, applications, and benefits of both passive and active solar systems are discussed in the subsequent sections.

With the consideration of solar energy entering rooms through the opaque walls, the reduction of the building heat loss index accounts for 20–80% and 10–45% of the total building heat loss index required by the national design standard (JGJ26, 2010) for the wall with internal and external thermal insulations, respectively. Therefore, a ...

The Trombe wall, sometimes called storage wall and solar heating wall, is a passive energy-saving technique adopted in buildings mainly for heating purposes during winter [198], [75], [74]. Trombe walls are found in most Northern European countries and the Middle East, and they utilize the low winter solar energy to provide thermal comfort in buildings. In the …
