Passive Solar Experimental Building Archive. User Manual

摘要

Despite large potential energy savings, lack of reliable information and inexperience have caused professional designers to be slow in adapting passive solar design concepts in commercial buildings. These same concepts have been successfully demonstrated with large energy savings in residential buildings across the country. The Department of Energy Passive Solar Experimental Building Program has addressed these issues and provides design, construction and evaluation data for 22 passive solar commercial buildings through the AIAF Experimental Building Archive. This manual describes data available as a result of this program and means to obtain these data. (ERA citation 11:008614)
