Title: Solar energy information user study: military engineers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5981357

This report summarizes data from questionnaires administered to military engineers and architects attending a 2-day solar design workshop at Lowry Air Force Base, February 17 and 18, 1981. The workshop was designed to inform engineers when and where solar energy could be used more effectively. The study aimed to identify the (a) solar energy information needs and information habits of the professionals, (b) their familiarity with and appraisal of relevant military publications containing solar energy information currently available, and (c) the overall effectiveness of the workshops (including structure and content). To measure the effectiveness of the workshop itself and provide input on producing an effective and comprehensive information dissemination plan for military engineers nationwide, 2 questionnaires were designed and administered to the participants. The Pre-Workshop Questionnaire assessed the participant's knowledge of solar energy prior to attending the workshop.
