Title: CCMS Solar Energy Pilot Study: report of the annual meeting

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5359161

Sixteen of the nineteen participating countries, plus the European Communities, presented their national programs or summarized their country's present activities in solar heating and cooling systems in buildings. Solar heating and cooling programs are summarized for: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Iran, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Monaco, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, U.S.A., and the European Communities. Summaries of the 1976 special format reports are presented. Australian performance data on three domestic hot water systems operating at system solar efficiencies of up to 25 percent are reported. A Canadian interim format report summarizes the status of an annual solar heat storage system and combined solar heating and heat pump system. The performance of the Zero Energy House is described in the Danish Report. The status of projects in heat pipes and solar tap water heating is described in the Federal Republic of Germany summary. The summary report of France concerns the thermal performance of the glazed solar heated masonry walls (Trombe wall) in an experimental dwelling at Odeillo. A subsystem report covering the performance of a reflecting horizontal collector is presented by Greece. Sweden summarizes the performance, or projected performance, of three dwellings. The United States summary covers the performance of seven systems, including two solar heated schools, one solar heated and cooled school, a solar heated and cooled residence, a combined solar heating and heat pump residential system, an apartment domestic hot water system, and a large shallow solar pond for supplying industrial process hot water. Projects for which special format reports will be prepared during 1977 are reviewed. (MHR)
