	The design may also include vents at the top and bottom of the wall (which may be controllable or even include mechanical assistance) to allow more rapid heat transfer between the wall and the adjacent space, or it may rely entirely on conduction through the wall. Where vents are included, cooler air from the adjacent space will enter through the lower vent, will be heated by the wall and so will rise, and will then return to the adjacent space through the upper vent. Closing the vents at night will prevent reverse flows occurring and removing heat from the space.

	Heat built up in the wall is slowly released into adjacent spaces by radiation and convection. Depending on the thermal mass of the wall, this heat can be released over long periods of time, moderating fluctuations in conditions. This is a form of ‘passive’ solar heating, as opposed to an ‘active’ building services heating system.		Heat built up in the wall is slowly released into adjacent spaces by radiation and convection.

	The design of trombe walls needs to enable them to provide solar heating during colder periods, but not to generate overheating during warmer periods. This might require the use of external vents, shading or overhanging eaves to limit peak gains and to enable night time cooling.
