This paper presents the first experimental full-scale house built by the Solar Energy Research Center of Baghdad to be heated and cooled by solar energy. The various architectural and environmental considerations which entered into the design process are discussed, as well as the range of passive techniques examined for their compatibility with the local climate and their ability to optimize the energy efficiency of the house. The mechanical systems which were ultimately implemented are described.
