·
OSTI ID:6814337
A solar heated building is described including a thermal collector means which is carried in the attic of the building for absorbing energy and heating the air within the attic. Duct means are connected between the attic and a thermal storage chamber carried below the bottom floor of the building. The thermal storage includes a rock bed extending substantially under the entire area of the house with the joists which support the bottom floor of the building resting on top of the thermal storage chamber. Registers are carried in the floor extending between the space provided between a pair of adjacent joists so that conditioned air can be fed between the joists to the registers for either heating or cooling the house. Control means which are activated by strategically located sensors are utilized for opening and closing dampers for controlling the flow of air through the building.
