The National Program Plan for Passive Solar Heating and Cooling consists of four major parts. The first part describes the planning context. A definition of a passive solar system is given, as well as a background of Federal involvement in passive solar heating and cooling, program goals and objectives, and an overall implementation approach. The second part addresses the technology development program area. Background information on the status of and the strategy and emphasis for technology development is provided, followed by descriptions of passive heating and passive cooling systems and an overview of task classifications for technology development. The third part describes the technology utilization program area. Again, background information is given on the status of and the strategy and emphasis for technology utilization. This is followed by a narrative description of the technology utilization process and an overview of task classifications for technology utilization. The fourth part (Appendices) provides detailed information on the tasks and schedules. Appendix A contains brief descriptions of the technology development tasks. Appendix B presents system development schedules for promising passive solar heating and cooling systems selected for intensive development activity. Appendix C contains brief descriptions of the technology utilization tasks. Appendix D presents schedules for utilization tasks selected for near-term implementation. Appendix E presents the projected energy impact of passive solar space-heating of residences and light commercial buildings.
