description: The various situations in which interactions between south-facing
 systems serving a single thermal zone may affect the performance of the
 mixture are discussed. In particular, the nature of direct gain interactions
 with unvented Trombe walls was explored using a detailed thermal network
 computer program. The results are compared with predictions from the simple
 design analysis procedures which neglect interactions. This comparison showed
 that system interactions can significantly improve the peformance of a mixture
 under certain conditions.
