Passive and Hybrid Solar Low Energy Building: Subtask A, Performance Evaluation Procedures, Task 8.

摘要

This document presents the common monitoring and performance evaluation procedures used by the participants of IEA Task VIII -- Passive and Hybrid Solar Low Energy Building -- to evaluate the performance of the passive and hybrid solar homes constructed as part of this international cooperative research effort. Although the performance evaluation procedures were developed specifically for Task VIII, they are useful for any monitoring activity involving passive and hybrid solar homes. The document is organized into seven chapters. Each chapter addresses a different requirement of a successful performance evaluation program. The early chapters (1 and 2) discuss the elements of a monitoring project and the necessity for clearly defining the monitoring objectives. Chapter 3 presents the performance evaluation methodology for passive and hybrid solar homes, including a list of common performance factors. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the preparation of the monitoring plan and establishing the data and instrumentation requirements. Chapter 6 discusses data reduction procedures, while Chapter 7 presents a recommendation for documenting the building, passive and hybrid system, the data acquisition system and the results. 36 refs.
