The Spanish Association of Electric Utilities (UNESA) and the state-owned industrial holding company (INI) have undertaken a 5-year program for the more efficient utilization of energy through solar energy and other energy conserving technologies. Among the tasks undertaken was the design of a solar collector particularly well suited to Spanish conditions. More than 28,000 m/sup 2/ of this collector have been installed, accounting for 42% of the Spanish market over the past three years. In cooperation with the Franklin Research Center of Philadelphia, PA, the UNESA-INI staff has carried out a binational program of solar energy utilization, funded under the U.S. -Spanish Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation. As a part of this program, five demonstration projects have been constructed or are under construction. Four of them provide space heating and cooling and service water heating by means of evacuated tube collectors, EPDM collectors, air heating collectors, a water-to-water heat pump, and an absorption chiller; a fifth generates electricity by means of photovoltaic cells.
