Proceedings are presented of a workshop to bring together members of the ERDA Division of Solar Energy and energy officials of the various states to help improve the exchange of information and stimulate more direct participation in the planning of national solar energy research, development, demonstration and commercialization programs. The workshop was organized into six sessions with participants attending seven workshops involving meteorological and solar heating and cooling demonstration programs. Also, ''mini-regional'' meetings were held, as well as review and detailed presentation sessions. Topics ranged from measurement and construction standards to commercialization prospects for solar energy; and from the national data collection, evaluation and dissemination program to states participating in the design and collection of solar radiation data networks. The seven working groups were organized to allow each participant to attend sessions on three different topics of their choice. The subject areas were: (1) state participation in meteorological network design: data collection; (2) radiation instrumentation measurements and calibration; (3) meteorological data management (standards and format); (4) state participation in solar heating and cooling demonstration; (5) heating and cooling standards and criteria; (6) solar heating and cooling data management system; and (7) solar heating and cooling systems analysis. Theedited and consolidated results of all workshop sessions, handouts, and summaries are presents. (WHK)
