This diagram shows the water catchment system designed for the entire project.

The masonry trombe wall collects heat through windows on the outside. It stores the heat and slowly releases it overnight, keeping the condos at a comfortable constant temperature.

All of the units have radiant floor heating systems integrated into the concrete slab.

This normal looking wall actually contains a trombe wall which collects heat from the sun during the day and releases the heat at night.

The trombe wall is laid within the walls of the building, and then is enclosed with plaster on the interior and windows on the exterior. The concrete blocks are painted black so that it can gain the maximum amount of heat during the day.
