Guide to effective solar heating and cooling practice
A detaled and systematic inventory of technical experiences at residential and commercial solar demonstration sites across the nation is provided, and design approaches are described which have been shown to dramatically improve system performance. A review has been made of nearly one hundred sites which have been instrumented and feeding data continuously into the National Solar Data Network. It is found that the success of individual systems in meeting or exceeding their design targets depends on effectively controlled design, installation, operation and maintenance. However, numerous reported problems have also been due to poor communication between the various parties involved, and additionally due to failure to identify problems as the develop. Overall, such factors appear to have contributed greatly to the general underperformance seen at the sites. It is found that solar systems must be designed to operate efficiently during periods of minimum as well as peak loads. Solar coth the conversion, distribution, and end use of ethanol are all amenable to control or mitigation through andstone (Kfh), and the Hell Creek formation (Khc). Anomaly No. 31 is over an area underlain by Recent alluvium (Qal).
