A 69,000 sq. ft. school building that is covered by 3 to 4 feet of earth is described. The solar heating and cooling system employs non-concentrating, evacuated tubular type collectors which can efficiently produce up to 240/sup 0/F water. The primary chilled water system consists of two absorption chillers, a reciprocating chiller with a double-bundle condensor and three 10,000 gallon thermal storage tanks. The heating system uses the reciprocating chiller and the solar system heat exchanger. (MOW)
