✦ Synopsis


Although attached sunspaces present some difficulties due to their sizing with regard to the strong thermal oscillation in its interior, they are a passive element very much used in passive solar architecture as they can be easily integrated in any type of building. In climates with warm summers, there also exists the problem of overheating which must be solved with an accurate design complemented with a correct strategy of thermal regulation. Here we present the result and the analysis of the tracking of three attached sunspaees located in Barcelona, so as to obtain conclusions to improve their design as well as to check the validity of the calculation method used.
