Resumo (PT):
Traditional Portuguese buildings forms were adapted to create this relatively massive two-storey house in northern Portugal, which incorporate direct solar gain. Trombe wall and water-wall systems. Two-year results from both free-floating and thermostatic control modes are here discussed; one conclusion was that existing simulation methods under-predict the performance of massive structures.
