The direct gain passive solar system was retrofitted to a 10,000 square foot warehouse section in Manchester, New Hampshire. The design used 1,750 square feet of Kalwall Corporation Sunwall Solar Window as the south wall collector aperture. The warehouse concrete slab floor and inventory provide thermal energy storage. Five 24 inch, thermostatically controlled fans are used for warm air circulation. Auxiliary space heating is provided by two hot water fan coil units. The construction costs of this solar heating project are presented. Category costs are listed by materials, labor, and subcontract costs. The subcontract costs include both materials, labor overhead and profit for mechanical and electrical subcontractors.
