AB - This paper analyzes the impact of Trombe Wall construction on heating and  cooling demands of building with form (rectangular single-storey building of  about one hundred square meters area) which is common for individual  residential buildings in the Republic of Serbia. Trombe wall, as a  representative of a passive solar design, was installed on the south wall of  the building. Model of the building was made in the Google SketchUp  software, while the results of energy performance were obtained using  EnergyPlus and jEplus. Parameters of thermal comfort and climatic data for  the area of city of Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, were taken into account.  Coverage of the south façade was varied, as well as the thickness of the  thermal mass and orientation. Energy consumption of the object is discussed,  based on obtained results of the analysis. According to comparative analysis  of the above mentioned models it can be concluded that the application of  the Trombe wall structure on south side may lead to savings of 33% on  heating, but also the higher energy consumption for cooling. Total energy  consumption on an annual basis is reduced by using this system.
