The book concludes with a discussion of passive solar energy use, which plays an important role in covering heat requirements and in the use of daylight. What is crucial for the efficiency of solar energy is the effective storage capability of the components, which must also be known in cases where transparent thermal insulation is used. Linking an outline of basic physical principles with their applications is designed to facilitate a sound knowledge of innovative solar-building technologies, and to contribute to their being accepted in planning practice.
