•  Trombe wall

  A Trombe wall is a sun-facing wall developed by the French engineer Félix Trombe 1956 in Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via, and is built from material that can act as a thermal mass, combined with an air space, insulated glazing, and vents to form a large solar thermal collector. This idea was popularized as a glazed, heavy wall. During the day, sunlight would shine through the insulated glazing and warm the surface of the thermal mass.
