Trombe wall architecture

From outside to inside, a Trombe wall consists of a layer or more of glass, a narrow air space, and a masonry wall coated with a dark, heat-absorbing material. Energy […]

Atelier Craft and ICI! have designed a triangular day shelter for migrants and refugees in Paris, with a modular timber frame that can be demounted.

An environmental education facility Amsterdam, partly clad in tessellating timber panels, has solar panels integrated into the south-facing side of its roof

Passive cooling systems are a type of building design that uses natural processes to cool a building without the use of mechanical systems.

Regular readers will know that we tend to favour simple, non-mechanical methods of green design, like passive solar heating instead of, say, thermal solar collectors with evacuated tubes and pumps. One

Named after engineer Felix Trombe, the system combines glass and a dark, heat-absorbing material to conduct heat slowly into the house

So we’re into another week about heat emissions in bodies and buildings and the passive air techniques that can be used to control those functions.The Addington reading addresses the more historica…

A Trombe wall is used to reduce the use of a building's heating and cooling systems through passive solar design.
