DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5860056· OSTI ID:5860056

The status of the Solar Total Energy Large Scale Experiment at the 87,000 troop housing complex at Fort Hood's Main Post area is described. Five building containing 155,560 ft/sup 2/ of floor area are to be served by solar space heating, air conditioning, and domestic hot water. Initial design efforts toward a parabolic trough collector field are described, and the decision by DOE Headquarters that the use of a central receiver solar thermal power system be considered is discussed. A life-cycle cost comparison analysis between the Fort Hood and Shenandoah Solar Total Energy Large Scale Experiments is given. (WHK)
