For the provision of passive solar heating in multi-storey buildings, an opposite sunspaces passive solar air heating system has been developed. The system envisages the natural transfer of the solar energy gained in the southern sunspace of an apartment to the northern glazed space through air ducts placed in the ceiling and floor. The heated air in the southern sunspace rises, enters the air ducts placed in the ceiling and flows through these ducts to the northern glazed space. The displaced air in the southern sunspace is replaced with cooler air flowing from the northern glazed space to the southern sunspace through the air ducts placed in the floor. The application of the system in Ankara Solar House and the Belko Solar Building is described.
