This project consisted of designing and constructing thermal envelope improvements, a retrofit Trombe wall, and a domestic hot water preheater on the Jemez pueblo Civic Center, an 11,000-square foot masonry building which houses a gymnasium, classrooms, and the tribal offices. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate the applicability of retrofit solar heating systems to large buildings owned by local governments in remote areas of the state. preliminary estimates indicated that the proposed retrofit installation would reduce the fuel consumption of the subject building substantially. After construction, the fuel consumption of the building was monitored to measure the actual fuel and cost savings, which are projected to be nearly 50%.
