Environmental data collected from solar energy systems in residential and commercial buildings are tabulated for solar sites in the Network for which data are found to be valid. The sites are grouped in 12 zones. Available meteorological data are provided for insolation, temperature, wind speed and direction for all passive and some active solar sites, and humidity. The pyranometers used to measure insolation, the resistance temperature detectors, wind sensors, and humidity sensors are described, and the way data were taken is discussed. (LEW)
