The Environmental Partnership site is a three-story single family detached residence in New Jersey. It is equipped with a 540 cubic foot vented Trombe wall constructed of concrete filled concrete blocks and glazed with 344 square feet of insulated tempered glass. Heat is also provided by a 168 square foot sunspace of insulated glass. In the loft area is a phase change storage system composed of 32 PSI Thermal-81 phase change storage rods. Auxiliary heating is by a wood-burning stove and a dual-fuel, propane and wood, forced air furnace. A breadbox type hot water preheater is located on the roof. Summer cooling is accomplished by opening windows, doors, and exhaust dampers and operating a whole house ventilation fan. Operation of the solar system and the auxiliary subsystems may involve one or more of 5 modes: collector-to-storage, storage-to-space heating, auxiliary-to-space heating, energy-to-load-summer cooling, and domestic hot water. The house, its solar heating systems, storage, load, operation, on-site performance evaluation instrumentation, and data depicting the solar portion of construction costs are outlined. (LEW)
