Abstract
Designs for solar walls that could be used in new buildings as an attractive alternative to highly insulated outer walls are presented. Increased use of these walls could contribute to the reduction of air pollution but it is important that their use should lead to the same amount of energy for space heating as the use of mineral wool (at the same cost) for thermal insulation. Types of solar walls that could be used in various kinds of homes in Denmark in the future are characterized. Windows are taken into consideration and data on heat recovery and energy consumption are given. Various designs for ventilated and non-ventilated solar walls are described in detail, also with regard to energy conservation, temperature regulation and thermal comfort. New Danish building regulations will contribute to the further development of solar walls. It is calculated that the use of non-ventilated solar walls will reduce energy consumption in a traditionally highly insulated house by 14-21%, and the heating season will be reduced by 1-2 months. There is a slight risk of thermal discomfort during short periods of heavy sunshine. The use of ventilated solar walls should result in a reduction of energy consumption amounting to 34-46%,
