Installed along the building’s south side, the SolarWall surface consists of a black metal skin with perforations that collect heat from the sun. The solar energy generated from the wall preheats the outside air, which is then sucked through the building’s gas furnace, allowing it at times to run without burning gas, thereby reducing the company’s heating costs.

That’s because while the most visible portion of the SolarWall heating system looks very much like regular metal siding. It’s actually an engineered renewable energy system that Natural Resources Canada has identified as the simplest, most efficient and least expensive way to preheat outside air.
