SOLFEAS: An Interactive Program for Estimating the Economic Feasibility of an Active Solar Thermal Energy System

摘要

SOLFEAS is an interactive computer program developed to provide Corps of Engineers Field Operating Agencies (FOAs) with a simple, inexpensive means of estimating the economic feasibility of an active solar thermal energy system. SOLFEAS can project paybacks for each of four solar system types: (1) service water heating/preheating (domestic hot water and/or process hot water), (2) space heating only, (3) combined space - service water heating, and (4) combined space - service water heating/space cooling.
