Solar project description for Baker Homes, Inc. , single-family residence, Oxford, Ohio
The residential solar demonstration project is a direct gain system utilized for space heating. Electric baseboard heater units and a wood burning stove are provided for a supplemental heat source. Window panels totalling 461.6 square feet are mounted on the south wall at a 60/sup 0/ angle to the horizontal and admit light to a mass wall between the greenhouse/solar plenum area and the living spaces. Liquid-filled steel tubes, surface-mounted on the mass wall, and the concrete floor of the greenhouse also provide thermal storage. Space heating demands are met by circulating room air through the greenhouse and solar plenum, and summer space cooling is provided by drawing outside air through buried earth tubes and forcing it through the living spaces, the greenhouse, and the solar plenum. The collector, storage, load, and auxiliary load subsystems are outlined and diagrammed as well as the overall system, and four modes of operation are described, which are collector-to-storage, storage-to-space heating, greenhouse cooling, and living spaces cooling. Original cost estimates for provisioning and installation of the solar system are given. The system's performance evaluation instrumentation for the National Solar Data Network is described. (LEW)
