OSTI ID:6428209

A modern, one-story school building south of San Jose, CA has been equipped with a solar heating and cooling system, consisting of concentrating collectors an absorption air conditioning unit, and a storage tank. The solar HVAC system is described in detail with the aid of several drawings. System performance was calculated using a proprietary computer program which calculates hourly energy collected and used taking into account climatic factors, collector characteristics and system losses. Some performance computations and miscellaneous supporting materials are appended. (LEW)
