National Program Plan for Research and Development in Solar Heating and Cooling for Building, Agricultural, and Industrial Applications

摘要

The objectives of the DOE solar energy R&D program are to identify potentially cost-effective systems for building, agricultural, and industrial proc¬ess heating and cooling applications, and to provide the emerging solar energy industry with the materials, components, information, and methodology needed for designing, producing, and installing these systems. To a significant extent, the application of solar energy for heating and cooling involves components (such as heat pumps, air conditioning machines, and controls) which are used in conventional HVAC systems.
