SYNRGY PASSIVE SOLAR HEATING BOX
== Project Participants ==
Spring 2010:
Opportunity Definition
My project is to design and implement a passive solar heating box. It is to be installed in the garage/jam space of Synrgy-reggae massive from Humboldt. The band utilizes the garage from 8-10 pm when the average temperature in the room is about 45-50 degrees. I want generate enough energy to raise the temperature about 10 degrees, thus increasing the morale of the practice.
The heating box is built from a simple box frame w/ a tempered glass cover. In the middle of the box is a panel of corrogated metal painted black. This is our heat absorber with a dead air space between the glass and the metal. Beneath the metal sheet is where our manifolds are. We attached it to the south facing wall with a cold air inlet duct at the bottom towards the floor and a hot air outlet duct above it. So when the air heats up in the box, convection generates the air flow from the house, drawing cool air from the floor and releasing hot air from the duct above.
Literature Review
===Energy:It's Use and the Environment===
This is a college level textbook that breaks down the physics of energy and heat transformation. It breaks down all of the necessary mathematical procedures on finding heating loads, specific heat, amount of solar insolation, ect. </ref> Hinrichs,R.A. Kleinbach,M.H.(2005).

===The Passive Solar Construction Handbook===
This Book breaks down the necessary components of a passive solar house or heating system.[1]
===Solar Energy for Heating and Cooling===
This book lists the amount of solar insolation of virtually every city in America, breaking it down by the time of year, time of day and latitude. [2]
