Instead of leaving typical walls in between the ribbons, 18” thick thermal mass is used to filled up the gap. Thus, the greenhouse affect would store the solar radiation. Black coating is used on the outter side of the thermal mass, so that it could absorb more radiation. During the night, these thermal mass would release heat into the colder interior like a radiant heater.
