Spears, J W

The Rymark I and Rymark II sites are single family residences in Maryland with a passive solar heating system in Rymark II. The Rymark I system is equipped with 92 square feet of south-facing double-glazed windows and is designed to supply 16% of the heating load. The Rymark II system is equipped with 150 square feet of south-facing triple-pane windows and is designed to supply 28% of the heating load. Both houses are equipped with a 24,000 Btu heat pump. For each house, the equipment solar fraction and conventional fuel savings are given. Overall system performance data are presented as well as data on collector, storage, and space heating performance, energy savings, and weather conditions. (LEW)
