Under the sponsorship of the Gas Research Institute, a Combined Gas Heating/Electric Cooling and Gas Water-heating System was tested during the cooling season in an unoccupied contemporary research house located near Washington, D.C. The research house was moderately furnished to approximate conditions of occupancy for a family of three. Presence of occupants and use of appliances were simulated. Performance of the unit was evaluated on the basis of indoor comfort, dynamic response to changing indoor/outdoor conditions, effect of water draw, energy consumption, and efficiency.
