A TROMBE WALL IS A MASSIVE EQUATOR-FACING WALL THAT IS
PAINTED A DARK COLOR IN ORDER TO ABSORB THERMAL ENERGY FROM
INCIDENT SUNLIGHT AND COVERED WITH A GLASS ON THE OUTSIDE
WITH AN INSULATING AIR-GAP BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE GLAZE. A
TROMBE WALL IS A PASSIVE SOLAR BUILDING DESIGN STRATEGY THAT
ADOPTS THE CONCEPT OF INDIRECT-GAIN, WHERE SUNLIGHT FIRST
STRIKES A SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTION SURFACE WHICH COVERS
THERMAL MASS LOCATED BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE SPACE.

SOLAR GAIN FOR NIGHT USE SPACES.
 AN AIR LOOK AT THE ENTRANCE ACTS AS A BUFFER FOR
NORTH FACING SPACES.
 ON THE NORTH SIDE, THE HOUSE IS SET PARTLY INTO THE
HILL WHICH PROVIDES EARTH COUPLING FROM LOWER
FLOOR AND STABLISHES INTERNAL TEMPERATURES.
 MINIMUM OPENING IN THE EAST AND WEST AND NO
OPENINGS ON THE NORTH.
 TROMBE WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE WARMS UP BOTH THE
BEDROOMS.
 THE ROOF IS INSULATED WITH ROCK WOOL.

15. RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS-
