Simplified Preliminary Economic Analysis for Passive Solar Heating.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA135539 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report establishes economic feasibility criteria for considering the use of passive solar design. In light of the growing cost of supplying the energy demands of the Air Force, a method is needed to simplify the adaptation of passive solar heating and cooling in future building construction.
