IGT has been involved in many community energy systems studies, including work on: advanced coal-using community systems; coal-based technologies evaluation for ICES; and solar total energy systems. In building energy systems, IGT's research work ranges from highly-detailed residential load analysis to the development of new appliance and environmental systems. Discussed are: wind-powered hydrogen-electric systems for farm and rural use; seasonal furnace efficiency improvement; adsorption (single-package heating and cooling); residential energy load analysis; heat pump systems performance; high-efficiency, gas-fired water heater; and solar energy applications.
