The solar heating system in Solar House II consists of 67.1 m/sup 2/ of double-glazed air-heating collectors with flat-black absorbers, 10.3 m/sup 3/ of pebble bed storage, air-to-water heat exchanger for preheating domestic water and one blower to circulate the air through the system. The nocturnal cooling system consists of an evaporative cooler and utilizes the pebble bed for cool storage. A schematic diagram of the system is shown.
