Trombe Glass Roof
Trombe roof doesn t fit because there is no significant thermal mass like in a trombe wall.
Trombe glass roof. The density of the materials in the trombe wall acts as a method of slow heat absorption and transfer. Trombe walls are a type of technology that can be installed in homes to passively heat the building the inclusion of trombe walls reduces the need to heat the building using traditional methods such as furnaces or other space heaters reducing the amount of energy used to heat the home. Trombe are specialists in the design and installation of high end glass structurally glazed extensions structures. 5 38b is a particular type of solar wall equipped with vents at the top and the bottom for the air thermocirculation between the air gap and the indoor environment in a trombe wall system heat exchange with the internal environment is both by transmission and by ventilation through the vents.

Trombe examples of glass roof lights which can be fixed or opeanable through manual or automated operation. This is more like a storm window trapping a layer of air as insulation. Glass was the only suitable material as the box needed to open for head height and it also makes a striking additional feature.
Solar heat passes. Trombe walls in the summer. The homes are in a conservation area so the height of a roof extension was limited by planning constraints. A trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect gain where sunlight first strikes a solar energy collection surface.
Clear architects proposed a sliding glass roof box to provide access to a lofty terrace. In the summer the wall is shaded by the overhang and does not receive direct sun. His idea is to build a frame cover it somehow like a greenhouse trapping air which would heat up in the winter and slow heat loss through the roof. Shading devices such as overhangs and roller shutters provide solar radiation control.
When a trombe wall is shaded it will stay cool and its inherent qualities will absorb heat to help keep the rest of the house cooler.
