Method of solar heating and cooling

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7291681
Method of solar heating and cooling in a building of the type having approximate north, east, west, and south facades including insulated opaque areas and vision areas. The system operates by shading the south facade vision area during summer months, orienting heat collectors on opaque areas as follows: east-southeasterly, west-southwesterly, south-southerly; circulating heating and cooling fluid, so as to absorb heat of solar radiation from the collectors for purposes of winter heating and summer cooling, while sequentially blocking circulating of the fluid in areas not exposed to the sun.
