Printed in Italy PREFACE
In Northern European climates passive solar heating systems
can contribute significantly to the energy conservation in
buildings. It is therefore that most of the developments and
applications in this field are found in these climatic
zones.
However, also in the warmer European climates, around the
Mediterranean and in Portugal, passive solar systems are
actually applied, with often interesting results. The main
purpose of the systems in these countries is, to increase
the human confort without increasing the energy consumption
in the building sector. The necessity of these efforts has
been demonstrated dramaticly during the summer of 1987 in
Greece and the Southern parts of Italy, where hundreds of
people died because of the heat.
It is the combination of heating in winter and heat
protection in summer which makes the design of passive
systems in these climates a challenge for the engineers and
architects. It also implies that the systems used in these
climates should not only be tested for the heating
performance in the winter but also for their characteristics
as protection devices against the torrid outdoor conditions
during the summer.
This workshop was organised to obtain an overview of the on-
going activities in this field and to assess if a common
activity in this field could be started.
