A Survey of Considerations for Solar Energy Facility Applications.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to provide Air Force civil engineers some useful information for the planning and programming of solar energy systems to satisfy facility energy requirements. This report has been prepared in response to the belief that considerable interest in solar energy system technology, as well as other alternate energy schemes, is increasing at a rapid pace in the Air Force. A considerable effort is devoted to appraising the current status of fossil fuel energy resources in order to establish the need for expanded work in developing solar energy technology. The current and potential areas of application of solar energy technology are described with special attention devoted to space heating. Additionally, environmental considerations of solar energy technology are described along with the current Air Force solar energy program. This report concludes with some suggestions for establishing a solar energy program on an individual or installation basis. (Author)
