This invention is a heat storage system utilizing pressure treated, high density fibrous products to capture and hold heat, particularly in passive solar applications. This heat storage means is preferably in the form of pressure treated logs or timbers which, once heated, will slowly release this heat over an extended period of time.

A passive solar building structure comprising: an outer house like structure constructed partly from light transmissive material and substantially the remainder from salt-impregnated wood; an inner house like structure disposed interiorly of said outer structure constructed partly from light transmissive material and substantially the remainder from salt-impregnated wood, at least one light transmissive portion of said outer structure being opposite a salt-impregnated wood portion of said inner structure and located near an upper portion of said house like structures respectively, said outer structure and said inner structure defining a closed loop air circulation channel therebetween which encircles said inner structure whereby solar light will pass through said at least one light transmissive material to heat said opposite salt-impregnated wood which in turn creates natural convection air circulation within said closed loop channel to allow portions of said salt-impregnated wood which are not in direct contact with said solar light to absorb and store the air circulated heat.
