ABSTRACT REZUMAT
1. INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCERE
The use of solar energy in spaces conditioning in
the form of passive and active systems was the object
of an important national research programme
coordinated by INCERC Bucharest and carried out
in the period 1972-1985. A combination of the
characteristics of two passive solutions experimented
on the support of the 2 solar houses: CS 1 Câmpina
(1974) and CS 3 Bucharest (1982) (modified Trombe
and unventilated solar space) is represented by the
Controlled ventilation solar space, which is the object
of this report. The solution was experimentally
validated on the support of the CE INCERC
Bucharest experimental building. The report aims to
present the calculation method proper for dimension-
ing and for assessing the energy performance of the
Ventilated solar space as a part of a new building
which is efficient in terms of energy performance. The
mathematical model is detailed and its validation on
the support of the experimental building in the season
September 2008 – March 2009 is presented as well. 2008 – martie 2009.

sufficient for statistically validating the results.
3.
3. The parallel analysis was focused on the
temperature variation of the hot air exhausted in the
heated space and on the thermal flow supplied to
the ventilated solar space by a convective effect. 4.
4. The errors between the measured and the
calculated values range between 3-8 % which con-
firms the satisfactory accuracy of the mathematical
model specific to the ventilated solar space.
