THE SOLAR COMMUNITY AND THE CASCADED ENERGY CONCEPT APPLIED TO A SINGLE HOUSE AND A SMALL SUBDIVISION – A STATUS REPORT

摘要

An analytical study of the application of the Sandia Laboratories solar community concept to a single house and to a 20-house subdivision is described. The specific system analyzed utilizes focused collectors, high-temperature water storage, and cascaded energy. Daily and annual projected performances of different collector fields and the annual projected fuel savings and relative costs of the system are presented for a community located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Requirements for the peak beating and air conditioning demands are shown.
