The building is a single story school gymnasium with a utility storage and locker room addition located near West Branch, Iowa. The metal building contains 6,900 square feet in the main gymnasium portion and 1,066 square feet in the utility storage/locker room addition. The solar collector panels are mounted against the south wall of the gymnasium at a tilt of 50/sup 0/. The solar heating system provides space heating for the gymnasium and preheating for the domestic hot water system serving the gymnasium. Air is used as the circulating heat transfer medium. The system is composed of flat-plate collectors, rock storage tanks, auxiliary heaters, and an air handling unit. An air-to-water heat exchanger in the solar air path provides hot water preheating. A functional description of the system and the instrumentation is given. (MHR)
