This paper deals with a problem of solar energy utilization in a passive way in moderate climates. The specific architectural concept of a solar buffer space incorporated into interior of a building is considered. The results show that this type of a buffer space can significantly reduce the space heating demand in winter and does not create any summer cooling demand, even if the glazed surface of the south façade is large and accounts for 70% of the total south façade area. The indices of final and primary energy consumption accounts for 22,56 kWh/ (m2 a) and 25,58 kWh/ (m2 a), respectively.
