sunspace

Key features include: A deep, shaded balcony for three-season comfort that incorporates operable windows and thermal mass so it can convert to a sunspace for use in cold weather; a circulation core that contains mechanical systems such as a hot water heater and storage tank and a combined heat and power system that distributes water and power to the house.

The advantage of the sunspace is its provision of an additional area within the building which can be used as an air-lock entry, a traffic way or a greenhouse.

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

During the day, warm air is transferred from the sunspace to the rest of the building, primarily by convection of warm air through the connecting doors and windows which are left open during the day and closed at night The temperature in the sunspace will drop somewhat below room temperature at night but remain well-above outside temperatures.

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

The sunspace has a large area of solar glazing compared with the surface of the mass used for heat-storage and, thus, temperature swings will typically be large (10° to 20°C).

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

A sunspace consists of a direct gain room placed on the equatorial side of the building, separated from the main living or working area of the building by a wall with openings that can be closed, such as doorways or windows

6. Energy efficient building design 1995

Both flowering plants and vegetables can be grown year-round in a properly constructed sunspace.
