  2. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    An advertisement for a Solar Water Heater dating to 1902 Frank Shuman's sunengine on the March 1916 cover of Hugo Gernsback's The Electrical Experimenter. Records of solar collectors in the United States date to before 1900, [5] involving a black-painted tank mounted on a roof. In 1896 Clarence Kemp of Baltimore enclosed a tank in a wooden box ...

  3. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

    Tempered glass can be made from annealed glass via a thermal tempering process. The glass is placed onto a roller table, taking it through a furnace that heats it well above its transition temperature of 564 °C (1,047 °F) to around 620 °C (1,148 °F). The glass is then rapidly cooled with forced air drafts while the inner portion remains ...

  4. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Solar roof ponds for solar heating and cooling were developed by Harold Hay in the 1960s. A basic system consists of a roof-mounted water bladder with a movable insulating cover. This system can control heat exchange between interior and exterior environments by covering and uncovering the bladder between night and day.

  5. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

    The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

  6. Storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_tank

    One form of seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) is the use of large surface water tanks that are insulated and then covered with earth berms to enable storage of seasonal solar-thermal heat that is collected primarily in the summer for all-year heating. [6] A related technology has become widespread in Danish district heating systems.

  7. Flat roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

    Any sheet of material used to cover a flat or low-pitched roof is usually known as a membrane and the primary purpose of these membranes is to waterproof the roof area. Materials that cover flat roofs typically allow the water to run off from a slight inclination or camber into a gutter system. Water from some flat roofs such as on garden sheds ...
