Turkey has a great potential of solar energy, which is the primary source of renewable energy; however, sufficient benefit cannot be obtained from this clean energy source. In Turkey, 36% of the total energy consumed in buildings is used for heating. Due to the lack of regulations in encouraging the solar energy utilization in buildings, the heatin...

... The co-author of the patent, Jaques Michel, explained the main assumptions of the design of TW in a French journal devoted to modern architecture called Architecture d'Aujourd'hui in 1973 [50]. Since then, the wall, as potentially one of the cheapest passive heating systems, has been discussed in numerous research projects across the world and is subject to modifications to improve its thermal efficiency in terms of climatic conditions and functionality [51][52][53][54][55]. TW can be designed as a wall in new buildings [56,57] or as a supplementation to thermal upgrading systems in existing buildings [58][59][60][61][62]. The thermal efficiency of the classical variants of TW is determined by the properties of its components (glazing, wall, absorption layer or absorber, and other additional interacting devices and elements, e.g., movable insulation, shading, etc.). ...
