The solar energy system supplies service hot water for a 204 bed medical and geriatric care facility with laundry and kitchen. The system was designed at the time the building was designed. The 9,374 ft/sup 2/ of collectors were manufactured by Revere Copper and Brass, Inc., and are mounted at grade level behind the building. Solar heated water for use in heating service water is stored in a 5000 gallon hot water storage tank. The heaviest use of hot water occurs during the day so the requirement for thermal storage is modest. The construction costs of this solar project are presented. Category costs are listed by materials, direct labor, ad subcontract costs. The subcontract costs include both materials, labor, overhead and profit for electrical, control and other minor subcontractors. The installed cost of the system was $312,825 not including prime contractor overhead and profit and general and administrative costs. (MHR)
