Trombe Wall

2015

In this project, a Trom-be wall unit was manufactured and installed in one of the hotel rooms at El Mousa Eco-Lodge in Saint Cath-erine, Sinai, Egypt. The climate of the region is severe and extreme, charactarized by severe cold win-ters (snow and rain) and very hot summers. Therefore, the wall will act as a passive heating system.
