The aim of this work is to design a cooling and heating system that works with solar energy for a 175 m2 house located in Misurata. At the beginning of this study, the weather data was collected in order to choose the proper two days for designing the system. Then the cooling and heating loads for the house were calculated. The amount of solar incident radiation on the flat plate solar collector at the two design days was determined mathematically. Also in this study, the area of the flat plate collector that required to cover the heating and cooling loads was found in cases of using single and double-glazed flat plat collectors. The proper size of hot and chilled water tanks for this system was also determined. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating and cooling, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat. Finally, the collector efficiency curve for a single and double-glazed was found. After writing the proper code for the calculations. Microsoft excel was used to analyze the data and to produce the curves.
