Re: A question about high thermal storage wall

["KCR" <Rauch-Muenster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bo,

here are some further Solar Energy Papers which could be of interest for you in 
some special aspects.
Indeed, some articles which I suppose are of very special nature. But the need 
of a good constructed passive solar heated house is to deal with different 
themes. Do not forget to look at the references given by the authors. In the 
case you are not familiar with the electrical-analogy-modelling-concept, please 
have a look into the master of science thesis of Michael James Pawelski.

Lots of fun
