Page Jackson solar school, Charles Town, West Virginia. Final technical report
The Page Jackson Elementary School uses a solar energy system to provide space heating and cooling for a 52,600 sq. ft. school building. A total of 11,215 sq. ft. of PPG Industries, Inc., double-glazed, flat plate collectors are used in conjunction with glass mirrored reflectors. The system is of the drainback type. Space heating is provided by circulating warm water from the storage tanks through five air handling units. Space cooling is provided by a 100 ton Trane packaged absorption water chiller when sufficient hot solar water is available.
