Monitoring and Design Study of the White Mountain School Hybrid Solar Building. Final Report, 1 June 1978-31 January 1981

摘要

The results of a year and one-half long, detailed monitoring study of a passive-hybrid solar building are presented. The attached sunspace was ventilated into a rockbed with an average collection efficiency of 18.6%. The efficiency of the rockbed, however, was low - 14.3%. The solar savings were due primarily to the passive buffering of the solarium. Side-by-side comparison with an unventilated, attached greenhouse is also presented, as is a comparison of the solarium performance with a set of simulation models. (ERA citation 08:014422)
