The improvement of energy performance in buildings can be achieved through the
integration of a Trombe wall system. The literature review reveals that more research work is …

Despite the studies already developed about Trombe walls, more research work is needed
to contribute to the knowledge about their behaviour and optimize it according to the specific …

The influence of the massive wall material, thickness and ventilation system on the Trombe
wall thermal performance was analysed based on an analytical methodology. Results …

A major portion of the total primary energy consumed by today's buildings is used in heating,
ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC). Conventional heating and cooling systems are …

The use of passive solutions for building envelopes represents an important step toward the
achievement of more efficient and zero-energy building targets. Trombe walls are an …

An analytical and experimental analysis on the Trombe wall thermal performance was
carried out for different conditions of ventilation openings and occlusion device operation …

Passive solutions in buildings are being recently rediscovered since they allow rational use
of solar radiation, promoting energy savings. Trombe walls, although initially conceived for …

The application of Trombe walls in temperate climates is problematic due to undesired heat
gains and overheating phenomena in summer. A proper shading and ventilation of this …

Trombe wall systems are based on the use of solar gains and the stack effect in winter,
which takes place through an air gap between a glazed façade and a heat-absorbing wall …

This experimental work shows that the natural convective heat transfer in the active
enclosure of a conventional Trombe wall assembly is enhanced by the interposition of …
