Method for Estimating Solar Heating and Cooling System Performance,

Abstract

During FY75 the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, under funding from the Office of the Chief of Engineers, engaged in a research effort to develop a method for the preliminary determination of the feasibility of heating and cooling buildings with solar energy. The principle objective of the work effort was to provide a simple means for estimating the expected performance of a given solar heating and cooling system when applied to typical buildings in various regions of the Country.
