A Community Solar Energy Feasibility Study and Education Program for Central Ohio is described. LEADS Community Action Agency and the Denison University Homestead, with support of federal and university grants, designed and constructed five solar heating systems. Three passive solar greenhouses, one passive trombe wall and one active solar system were retrofitted on local structures between April 1979 and April 1980. Two semesters of community solar education through the Denison Experimental College and one semester through Ohio State University/Newark were coordinated with design, construction and performance of these five solar systems. Community residents received a balanced education including classroom training in solar energy practice. Classes and demonstrations were also conducted for such diverse groups as elementary, junior and senior high schools, senior citizens, mental health organizations, news media, other community action agencies and colleges statewide as well as interested individuals.
