Report of the fourth CCMS Solar Energy Pilot Study meeting
- ed.
The Solar Energy Pilot Study of the NATO Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS) was established with the obtective of encouraging the cost-effective and practical application of solar energy to heating and cooling in buildings. Over twenty NATO and non-NATO countries have participated in the activities of this international cooperative program. The project has focused on exchange of information on (1) national solar heating and cooling programs in the participating countries and (2) solar heating and cooling projects, with emphasis on performance results. Two effective working groups have also been formed relating to regional applications of solar energy: The Zero Energy House Group and the Mediterranean Applications Group. Since 1974, four pilot study meetings have provided a forum for presentation of status reports on national solar heating and cooling programs and the review of the status of the various elements of the pilot study. The fourth and final Solar Energy Pilot Study Meeting was held at Dusseldorf, Germany in April 1978. This report is a summary of that meeting and contains, in addition to national program reports and progress reports on the sub-project activities, recommendations for continued international cooperation during the two-year CCMS follow-up period.
