Summary: Multi-residential high-rise buildings are excellent candidates for SolarWall® air heating systems because they required continuous ventilation air in the hallways and common-areas. In addition to the renewable energy benefits, with these types of retrofit applications, the installation of the wall-mount SolarWall® system means that these buildings have effectively been re-clad, thus reaping a second building envelope benefit.
