This report provides detailed cost information for the Page Jackson Elementary School solar space heating and cooling project located in Charles Town, West Virginia. The solar energy system cools and heats the approximately 52,600 ft/sup 2/ school. The system was designed as an integral part of the building at the time the building was designed. The 11,215 ft/sup 2/ of collectors were manufactured by the PPG Industries, Inc. and serve as both part of the roof of the building and the solar collectors. For cooling, water is chilled by a 100-ton Trane packaged absorption water chiller. Solar heated water for use in space cooling and heating is stored in two 10,000 gallon hot water storage tanks.
