Performance Data for Passive Systems. The Charless Fowlkes House

摘要

The Fowlkes House, utilizing a water tube storage wall, has been constructed in Bozeman, Montana and was monitored by the owner, Dr. Charless W. Fowlkes. This data and experience has been used to assess the performance of such systems during actual occupancy conditions. The information obtained has proven extremely useful in determining design parameters within the Montana area. In a period lasting from 1976 to 1977, Dr. Fowlkes designed and built this indirect gain passive solar home. The house, passive solar system, data acquisition system, and performance data are described. (ERA citation 05:032013)
