ABSTRACT:
The foundation-based solar heating system includes a plurality of preformed beams that define a perimeter, the beams being elevated above the earth and receiving a building thereon. The building floor, the beams, and the earth enclosed by the beams define a plenum chamber, and the beams have internal air flow channels therein. One of the beams is south-facing, and carries solar collector means thereon that is connected with the flow channels. Return ducts connect the flow channels on the opposite side of the foundation perimeter to the south-facing beam, and to the solar collector means. The beams are externally insulated, and air flowing through the system heats the plenum chamber and provides a heat source for the building. An air circulating unit assures a flow of circulating air from the plenum chamber through the building, and includes an auxiliary heating element means.
