A New Energy Saving Building Type – Cavity Construction System with Trombe Wall

Abstract:

A new building type- cavity construction system with trombe wall was proposed. Solar thermal storage wall was used to heat air gap between glass and wall. Updraft passed through hollow floor and supplied heat to upper room. Heat transfer model was built and numerical simulation of this kind of buildings was done. The results showed that cavity construction system with disconnected trombe wall had appropriate air- flow organization and uniform heating effect, which had better serviceability to high-rise buildings.
