In this paper, heating and heat storage in passive solar heating room with greenhouse has been studied. The unsteady numerical simulation is employed to analyze the performance of the flow and temperature field for the typical sunny day of Wuhan, China, in winter in the heating system. The floor of passive solar heating room with a convective hole or not has great effects on temperature distribution and gas flow in heat storage layer of this system. Properties of the bed worked as solar absorber and storage layer have also been studied.
