Gill Harrop, Big Flats, New York solar-energy-system performance evaluation, November 1980 through April 1982
The Gill Harrop site is a single family residence located in New York with a passive solar energy system designed to supply 75% of the heating load. The system is equipped with 403 square feet of windows, including 98 square feet of clerestory windows, an R-3.4 window quilt on all glazing, an 80,400-pound insulated concrete floor slab and two mass walls totalling 95,240 pounds, and electric baseboard auxiliary heaters of 9.5 kW total capacity. Monthly performance data are tabulated for the overall system and for the collector, storage, and space heating subsystems. Monthly data are also tabulated for the environment in the passive system, energy savings, and weather conditions. Also given are graphs for each month of the auxiliary energy used, ambient, storage, and building temperatures, and insolation vs. day of the month. These data are also graphed for a typical day.
