An energy efficient photovoltaic (PV) house has been constructed on the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The area of this PV house is 120.8 sq. m. (1300 sq. ft.) and it has three bedrooms and two baths. Although photovoltaic panels are installed on the south facing roof to meet a part of the house energy requirement, the performance of the PV panels is not a subject of this paper. A sixty channel DAS records meteorological data and building performance data. The house was closed up and allowed to free float with no space conditioning for four days in the summer of 1982. The internal load was negligible. The air temperature in the house, garage, attic and the inside surface temperatures of the north, east, south and west walls are simulated with computer code BLAST (Building Loads Analysis and Systems Thermodynamics). The model predictions are compared with the measured results for one day (day 199).
