Abstract

A building is disclosed, with which the air may be guided from a heat reservoir into an interspace, and/or from the interspace into the heat reservoir through conduits.

Claims

1. A building comprising wall windows, or rooflights at least in sections double, made from transparent material, defining an interspace, a heat reservoir, and at least one conduit for guiding air from the heat reservoir into the interspace and/or from the interspace into the heat reservoir.

2. The building according to claim 1, further comprising conduits for guiding fresh air via the heat reservoir into the building.

3. The building according to claim 2, further comprising conduits for guiding used air via the heat reservoir out of the building.

4. The building according to claim 3, wherein the conduits are formed as pipe-in-pipe heat exchangers.

5. The building according to claim 2, wherein the conduits for guiding used air and/or the conduits for guiding fresh air are arranged in the heat reservoir above the at least one conduit, via which the used and/or fresh air may be guided from the heat reservoir into the interspace, and/or from the interspace into the heat reservoir.

6. The building according to claim 1, further comprising means for reversing airflow in the conduits.

7. The building according to claim 1, wherein the wall windows are made from glass, transparent plastics, or plastic foil.

8. The building according to claim 1, wherein a jalousie is arranged in the interspace.

9. The building according to claim 1, further comprising a humidifier for fresh air.

10. The building according to claim 1, wherein the temperature in the heat reservoir year-round is greater than 18°

C.

11. The building according to claim 1, further comprising a heat pump, which is supplied with air being guided via the heat reservoir.

12. The building according to claim 1, wherein the air is conveyed into the interspaces by a pressure less than 0.3 bar.

13. The building according to claim 12 wherein the air is blown into the interspaces.

14. The building according to claim 12 wherein the pressure is less than 0.2 bar.

15. The building according to claim 14 wherein the pressure is less than 0.1 bar.

16. The building according to claim 1 wherein the heat reservoir is formed to store geothermal heat from under the building.
