OSTI ID:5489036
Passive solar energy is presented as an alternative to conventional space heating for existing and future government family housing units. The extent of the current energy problem is presented together with the implications of the findings of the Workshop on Alternative Energy Strategies. These findings significantly influence the impending energy problems facing the Department of Defense. A technical analysis is made of five passive solar space-heating design alternatives in five climate zones within the continental United States to determine the potential savings in conventional heating fuel and dollars to the Department of Defense. In addition, major advantages and disadvantages of solar energy are presented. Recommendations for the utilization of passive solar energy in family housing units conclude the thesis.
