Abstract

Apparatus for controlling the internal environment of a normally sealed enclosure for human or animal occupation and which is normally exposed to sunlight. The enclosure comprises hollow, fluid-filled exterior surface elements 10, 11, 12, 13 such that fluid within a said element will be warmed by incident solar energy. The elements 10, 11, 12, 13 are distributed around the enclosure and their interiors are interconnected and means such as a pump 16 is provided for displacing the fluid from one said elements while subjected to direct sunlight to all of the remaining elements 10, 11, 12, 13 so that heat obtained from the sun by fluid while in said one element will be dissipated while passing through a said element or elements currently in the shade. The enclosure may be a building for human occupation and the said elements constitute a major proportion of the wall area of the building. The elements 10, 11, 12, 13 may comprise hollow transparent or translucent windows. The elements 10, 11, 12, 13 may be in communication with a thermal storage means whereby fluid at a selected temperature may be stored. In an alternative embodiment there is disclosed a method of controlling the internal environment of a normally sealed enclosure for human or animal occupation.
