OSTI ID:6888606

The objectives of the study were (1) prove the need for a national exemplar for higher education energy systems, (2) identify an appropriate site, and (3) select the optimum energy system. The scope limited the study to colleges and universities in urban locations and renewable alternative energy systems for electric power generation only for roof installation using available technology with architectural and community acceptance with the potential for broad applications. Justification and site selection of a national exemplar at Georgetown University are described, and the identification and screening process for candidate renewable energy systems and the selection of a photovoltaic power system are discussed. Conceptual designs of selected photovoltaic power systems are presented. (WHK)
