West Facing Façade Feature Wall – Trombe Wall
contains water. The metal wall will absorb heat from the
sun and the water will absorb heat from the wall. This
concept is obtained through the old times where people
used to put water tank on top of the house to absorb heat
for usage instead of using water heater. This pre-heat wall
helps to reduce 60% of heating.
