With indirect solar gain, a heat-absorbing wall of black-painted masonry or concrete, or a tank of fluid, is set between the window and the interior so that it receives full sunlight. With this system, known as a Trombe wall, the sun heats the wall, and vents in the top and bottom of both the window and the wall are opened and closed to utilize the stored heat. The sun shines through the glazing and heats the masonry wall, with the effect that the space between the glazing and the wall becomes a thermal chimney. Then, the vents that are set at floor and ceiling levels in both the glass and Trombe walls are managed so that the currents of hot air that rise by convection between the wall and the glass—in the thermal chimney—are directed either in or out of the building.
