Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0204873A1] Rectangularly related wall or window panels (10-13) of a building are hollow and water is constantly circulated through their interiors so that the heat of a panel (10-13) subjected to direct sunlight is dissipated at panels (10-13) in the shade. The panels (10-13) can additionally be connected via valve (28) with a heat exchanger (19) external to the building or the heat or coolness of the water in panels (10-13) can be stored at a heat score (21) or a cool store (22) for later use either in the panels (10-13) themselves or in an internal heat exchanger (20). Additionally the stores (21, 22) can be connected together at (30) for transfer of heat between them. In a modification the fluid being circulated is air and the arrangement is such that suction is applied to double glazing so as to maintain a near vacuum therein.
