Abstract
A structure or building with a solar energy collecting system in an upright wall, arranged to face the sun, has a heat storage unit adjacent the wall for storing heat absorbed by the collecting system in sunlight, and for releasing the heat to the interior of the building in the absence of sunlight during those seasons requiring additional heat for the building, and a solar heat collector system for the building is arranged to provide a chimney effect for circulating air through the structure during seasons when heating of the structure is not desired.
