Santa Clara, California, Community Center commercial solar demonstration design and construction report
The Community Recreation Center is a 27,000 sq ft multiuse facility with a solar driven heating and cooling system. The system was 7085 sq. ft. of roof-mounted fixed-flat plate collectors. Cooling is achieved by two 25-ton lithium-bromide ARKLA absorption drillers and a single cooling tower. The underground storage consists of: one 10,000 gallon insulated steel tank for hot water and one 50,000 gallon insulated steel tank for chilled water. The auxiliary energy source is natural gas. The system is sized to provide 80% of the annual total energy requirements. (MHR)
