No full textThe solar wall: a suitable passive solar system for Italian climates
No full textThe research group of Ancona, has been designing, monitoring and using a solar house with 9 passive solar systems since 1980. That systems were designed to take into account energy saving in wintertime and summer cooling. In the last years we carried out monitoring activities and an in-depth quantitative study (simulations and parametric analysis) of the said solar house. The overall evaluation of the summertime and wintertime operation of the various systems used showed that the Trombe-wall was the most suitable to our climates. The present study focus on the optimization of building techniques and control systems of the Trombe-wall to maximize both performance and comfort and to eliminate the management problems, such as the raising of the dust due to the movement of the air by means of the recirculation vents. The Trombe-wall proved to be suitable to the Italian climates but proper measures about design and management need to be taken

The solar house of Ancona 20 years after: reflection on project and use
No full textThis paper reports the appraisal of the solar system’s behaviour applied to a building erected in
Ancona in the early ‘80s.
The project was born in 1980 and it was presented for the first time during an International Congress
in Catania in 1981. This house has been occupied since 1984.
It’s a three-storied compact-shaped building including nine flats (six duplex and three simplex). One
of them is built in a traditional way while the others are characterized by different passive solar
systems: direct gain storage, solar wells, hot greenhouse, cold greenhouse, simple Trombe-wall,
lightened Trombe-wall, Trombe-wall with greenhouse, blade interceptor and floor accumulator,
ventilated double-glazed window with light deflecting aluminium louvres.
After 20 years, an assessment concerning the use and maintenance of the various systems was carried
out, underlining different problems such as the raising of the powder and the poor hermetic seal of the
valves.
As a consequence of these problems some systems have been totally removed and others have been
partially used, reducing the thermal performance (for example Trombe-walls with closed vents)
