A shallow Solar Pond (SSP) System assisted by a heat pump has been designed to supply both space heating and domestic water (DHW) service to a portion of a college campus in Senatobia, Mississippi. The system comprises eight (SSP) modules having a total area of 2,378 m/sup 2/ (25,600 ft.), and two high temperature heat pumps. The total savings realized from the system are about 5,820 GJ (5,520 x 10/sup 9/ Btu) per year after accounting for electricity used by the heat pumps.
