DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6534651· OSTI ID:6534651
The National Security and Resources Study Center, a modern, three-level building containing 5574 m/sup 2/ of temperature-controlled space and an integral solar energy heating and cooling system, is in operation at Los Alamos, New Mexico. This report describes the instrumentation system used to measure the energy production (solar energy system), consumption (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system (HVAC)), and losses (building shell) in all the building's operating modes. Included are descriptions of the sensors (temperature, mass flow, power, etc.), the data-acquisition system, and the data-reduction programs.
