Passive solar systems use the energy from the sun to heat, cool, and illuminate buildings. The Air Force has used passive solar concepts in buildings since it was established in 1947 and will continue to do so whenever possible. Solar concepts described in this handbook fall into two broad categories: (1) those that use the energy from the sun to directly or indirectly impact the thermal needs (heating and cooling energy use) of the building, and (2) those that use the energy from the sun to directly impact the lighting needs of the building. Solar systems that heat or cool the building will be called solar thermal systems; ones that light the building will be called daylighting systems.
