The building system provides a solar energy passive contribution into a bio-climatic assembly. The heat carrier is the air. The solar radiation thermal conversion is made through the greenhouse effect. The air is diffused in the inner space naturally, due to pressure and temperature differences, without using mechanical means. There is a synergy, a cooperation of the assembly of building elements which, to this end, have multiple functions. The solar-building system operates optimally, according to the Suns revolution, in the 45 parallel area, and provides conditioning both during the cold and the hot seasons, day and night. The main advantages of implementing this solar-building system in the habitat are: - an annual saving in conventional energy consumption of approx. 50%; - increased comfort in the habitat and pollution reduction; - depreciation of the costs of the elements specific to the solar energy thermal conversion in about 2 - 3 years,by reducing the conventional energy consumption. The building cost, with average finishing, is not higher than that of a conventional building. From the town planning viewpoint, the system is suitable for individual plots for twinned and aligned homes. It is based on lightweight elements with dry manual mounting.
