Solar heating

Solar Heating is a style of building construction which uses the energy of sunshine to heat a structure. Active solar heating uses pumps which move air or a liquid from the solar collector sometimes into the building, sometimes into a storage area. Passive solar heating relies on the design and structure of the house to collect and distribute heat throughout the building. A well designed adobe house will use priniciples of passive solar heating.
