Direct Gain Systems

Direct Gain Systems is a passive solar heating strategy in which solar radiation enters a building directly through glazed apertures and is absorbed by interior thermal mass to provide space heating, distinguished from other passive systems by its immediate and unimpeded solar access to occupied spaces.
