A residential solar heating and cooling system installed in Colorado State University (CSU) Solar House III is described. During the bulk of the contract (1 February 1976-31 May 1978), the CSU Solar House III system utilized the Owens-Illinois (O-I) liquid-heating evacuated tube solar collector. During the period 1 June 1978-30 September 1978, the Chamberlain liquid-heating, state-of-the-art flat-plate solar collector was evaluated for a complete cooling season. Further evaluation of the Chamberlain collector will be forthcoming, pending follow-on funding.
