Carbon/carbon heat collection storage and dissipation system

Abstract

A carbon/carbon system is provided for collecting, storing and/or dissipating heat in a building structure. Carbon/carbon panels are used to collect heat generated by solar energy and other heating sources. The panels are interconnected either directly to each other or using heat transfer conduits. The heat collected by the carbon/carbon panels is transferred to heat storage areas or to areas for immediate use using heat transfer conduits.
