You could also experiment with creating a space of type "plenum" with the dimensions and properties of a solar wall. If I were taking the experimentation route, this is where I would start.<br><br>~karen~<br><br>

Kevin,<br><br>I've modeled a SolarWall, aka "Solar Air Heating" or transpired air collectors using <a href="http://www.retscreen.net/" target="_blank">RETScreen</a>. They have a Solar Air Heating module that is included in the RETScreen 4 download. If you don't mind modeling the SolarWall separate from the rest of the building, then that should work pretty well.<br>
