Description
The origin and evolution of the Solar Heating and Cooling Commercial Demonstration Program by the Department of Energy and the Marshall Space Flight Center activities supporting this program from its conception are defined and discussed.
During the life of this program, a significant amount of experience or "lessons learned" has been gained. These experiences should, and must, be published to help others avoid these specific problems, and hopefully, other similar problems in the future. The problems are summarized in the technical, or design area, and management, or financial considerations.
Conclusions state that the program has significantly assisted the creation of a viable solar heating and cooling industry. The cost effective procedures evolving from the program are expected to make a major contribution to reducing the effective life cycle cost of solar installation.
