The University's existing Home Management House was retrofitted for demonstration of solar heating and some other energy conservation ideas. The retrofitting included the following: active solar water heating system; attached solar greenhouse for passive space heating; in-line demand water heater; insulation of walls, floor, and attic; installation of storm windows; and covering of fireplace opening and installation of a wood stove. The solar collectors use extruded absorber material from which collectors may be fabricated by do-it-yourselfers. (MHR)
