Abstract
The problems of successful solar space heating are many and varied. The scientist and engineer who starts out merely to heat his home by solar energy, with presently known apparatus and materials, faces a very difficult situation because the amount of heat energy received per square foot of surface per heating season is quite low, and the cost of previous efficient solar heat collectors has been high. Further problems are involved because the solar input occurs only about 6 hrs out of 24, and because many cloudy days per season plague the solar scientist. This paper reports the author's attempts to solve these difficult problems of solar space heating and cooling.
