Curtain assembly
The invention is directed to a monitoring system for concentrating varying amounts of heat onto a heat transfer fluid and concentrating varying amounts of heat and diffused light into the interior of an enclosed structure. The system comprises a substantially closed unit comprising vertical and horizontal transparent windows and first and second reflectors for directing heat and light into the enclosure during winter months. The system also includes heat absorption means including a through for transporting a heat transfer fluid between the first window and the trough. The trough includes a heat absorptive surface for absorbing at least some of the heat transmitted through the first window towards the trough and for transmitting from the first window diffused light and heat through the trough into the interior of the enclosed structure.

Heating, lighting and ventilation system
A novel solar heat and light control device is described for controlling the amount of solar heat and light entering an enclosed structure and for minimizing the amount of interior heat loss from the structure. The device comprises a first plurality of vertically-oriented transparent substantially flat members which are mounted with a second plurality of horizontally-oriented reflective members on the enclosed structure so as to form a «staircase» construction so that incoming solar radiation, the direction of which varies according to the altitude and azimuth of the sun, is transmitted through the vertical members when the sun is at average winter altitudes and reflected when the sun is at average summer altitudes. The control device is preferably mounted between transparent planar panel assemblies. Novel heat storing means as well as an improved ventilation system useful with the solar heat and light control device are also disclosed.

Dual storage heating and cooling system
A solar heating and cooling system is disclosed which provides substantially consistent levels of temperature within a preselected range in an air space of an enclosed structure. The system includes a first store which functions as a heat source and a second store which functions as a heat sink. A variable feed fan is used for transmitting air through the first store and into the air space when the level of the sensed temperature within the air space drops below the preselected range. A second variable speed fan is used for transmitting air through the second store and into the air space when the level of the sensed temperature within the air space rises above the preselected range. Both fans are used to transfer heat from the warm store to the cool store when the warm store overheats. Energy may be purchased on an as needed basis or at off peak periods in anticipation of need.
