Insulating glass style solar heat collector and building using solar energy for heating and cooling employing same

Abstract

A building using solar energy for heating and cooling without employing any air conditioning equipment, where the building uses building elements, such as a solar heat collector and / or a solar heat storage device. The building comprises a fluid channel arranged for a fluid to transfer absorbed solar heat, a solar heat storage bank to store and supply the solar heat and a mechanism for directing and controlling the flow of said fluid throughout the building. The building may also use a second air channel for heating and cooling that building.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the application of solar energy, ie solar thermal application to buildings. In particular, the invention relates to the collection and storage of solar heat using existing and newly disclosed building elements. The absorbed solar heat is used not only for heating / heating of buildings but also for cooling / cooling of buildings. New building components include devices that integrate solar thermal collection with solar thermal storage, insulating glass solar collectors (IGSHC) and curtain solar collectors, among others. Background technique [0002] Recently solar thermal has been used in many buildings, mainly for solar heating of water and spaces. There is also solar cooling for buildings. Often solar applications require separate and additional equipment in buildings. Certain equipment can be complex and expensive. For example, to heat water or space, independent solar thermal collectors and independent solar therma...
