OSTI ID:6132804
The solar heated building. A flexible tube of transparent plastic sheeting is adapted to be positioned on, or secured to. A building or anchor unit so as to form the top cover therefor, a pair of shafts engage spaced internal portions of the tube and extend longitudinally thereof, the tube having closed ends and being positioned to move peripherally. Rollers engage the plastic sheeting and force it against the shafts, whereby, on drive of the rollers, the flexible transparent tube can be moved around its periphery. The transparent tube has at least one longitudinally extending section therein with a reflective metal flexible layer thereon, whereby, when the reflective metal layer portion of the tube is so positioned on the roof or cover unit as to receive the sun's rays thereon, they are reflected whereas the flexible plastic tube can be moved around its periphery to have only transparent plastic sheeting receive the sun's rays for transmission of the light's rays therethrough to transmit heat to the building.
