Description
A simple system is needed for storing heat and coolness created by passive solar design in existing low-income housing world-wide. Birkeland’s Solar Core (2003) coincidentally combines the attributes of a ‘solar chimney’ (which draws hot air out of the building), ‘wind tower’ (which draws cool air into a building) and ‘Trombe wall’ (which stores and circulates heat and coolness).The Solar Core is a new passive solar design concept to facilitate the ecological retrofitting of homes. The project is being constructed by a green builder in the USA who has promised to test it and report on how it performs. It has been presented in several talks and class lectures since 2003.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
