Using Energie Solaire absorber panels, the buildings can gather heat during the day, increasing the average internal temperature and decreasing the daily temperature swing. One building has 3 panels and has been heating for a month, staying quite warm inside.

The other, more recently completed building has 4 panels so that we can better investigate the effect the panels have. The next step will be to install overhead louvers to give a degree of control to the temperature of the buildings.
