Trombe wall

Summary

• A Trombe wall is a sun-facing wall built from material that can act as a thermal mass (such as stone, concrete, adobe or water tanks), combined with an air space, insulated glazing and vents to form a large solar thermal collector. Edward Morse patented the design in 1881 (US Patent 246626), but it was ignored until 1964, when it was popularized by the engineer Felix Trombe and architect Jacques Michel.
