This workshop, attended by approximately 500 people, was devoted to solar collectors for building applications. The purposes of the workshop were as follows: to assess the present state of collector development; to examine new design concepts; to identify promising directions for further R and D; to present results of collector performance tests in projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), including advanced research projects and state-of-the-art projects; to propose standards, suggested by the National Bureau of Standards, for testing solar collectors; to evaluate different numeric collector models; and to describe solar collector programs funded by NSF/RANN (Research Applied to National Needs) and other government agencies. Formal presentations were delivered by researchers, industry representatives, and government sponsors. The meeting was organized into these Sessions: 1) Flat Plate Liquid Heating Collectors; 2) Flat Plate Air Heating Collectors; 3) Focusing Collectors; 4) Panel Discussion by Collector Manufacturers; 5) Collector Materials and Components; 6) Numerical Models; 7) Testing and Standards; 8) NASA and HUD Solar Energy Programs; 9) Panel Discussion by Collector Users; 10) Working Group Reports; and 11) Solar Energy Programs in Federal Agencies.
