An effort is being made to obtain better design information at an outdoor passive solar laboratory consisting of six outdoor individual rooms with floor spaces measuring 8' x 12'. Six houses were constructed with each one having some different design feature. The houses and their instrumentation are described and illustrated. There is a reference house of brick veneer on wood frame, a house with a red brick heat storage wall 12 inches thick, and two houses with black coated brick heat storage walls of different thicknesses. Another house has brick cavity walls in the east, north, and west walls and a red brick heat storage wall. The last house is an envelope loop house with brick cavity walls to the east, west, and north. (LEW)
