Abstract
A system for storing heated air in the attic of a building by solar energy and for transmitting the heated air to a heat exchanger. The attic includes a floor, a roof formed of two oppositely inclined portions that meet at a peak, one of the inclined portions being glazed to form a light pervious surface and the other inclined portion being light impervious. The attic floor beneath the light pervious roof portion is covered with a light reflective surface. Located in the attic beneath the light impervious roof portion is an entrance end of an inlet duct leading from the attic to a heat exchanger and an exit end of an outlet duct leading from the heat exchanger to the attic. A blower is provided to blow air from the attic through the inlet duct, the heat exchanger, and the outlet duct back to the attic.
