sunspace

Glass-walled solar room

A sunspace is a glass-enclosed room or area designed to capture solar heat, typically attached to the south side of a building.

Unlike a sunroom built primarily for living space, a sunspace functions as a passive solar heating system—absorbing warmth during the day and releasing it into the home.

The sunspace kept the house warm well into the evening.
