OSTI ID:6566251

This handbook is to provide plant engineers with factual information on solar energy technology and on the various methods for assessing the future potential of this alternative energy source. The following areas are covered: solar components and systems (collectors, storage, service hot-water systems, space heating with liquid and air systems, space cooling, heat pumps and controls); computer programs for system optimization local solar and weather data; a description of buildings and plants in the San Francisco Bay Area applying solar technology; current Federal and California solar legislation; standards, codes, and performance testing information; a listing of manufacturers, distributors, and professional services that are available in Northern California; and information access. Finally, solar design checklists are provided for those engineers who wish to design their own systems. (MHR)
