摘要：A heating and cooling system, which in the \"heating\" mode provides fresh,filtered, solar heated air which may be augmented by a fireplace(s) heat exchanger toselectively complement or supplant a heating system otherwise fueled by mass-purchased fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, etc.), without resorting to intermediate steps, i.e.,heat pump assist, liquid conversions, low level air mixing, etc. A collector duct extendsalong the peak region of an attic space to direct air, heated by solar energy impinging onthe roof, to the intake of a heating and/or distribution system within the building. Ventsadmit outside air to the attic space, adjacent the eaves, so the air is heated by the hotroof and rises to the inlet slot of the duct in the peak region. The duct transfer can beclosed and a further inlet opened to admit normal return air from the occupied areas tothe heating and distribution system. In the absence of adequate solar heated air, a heatexchanger installed in a conventional fireplace may be selectively energized to perform asimilar function. In the \"cooling\" mode, the system provides outside, cool air to thedistribution system within the building, either in lieu of air normally cooled by the air-conditioning compressor, or as supply air thereto for normal cooling function.
