A Survey of Some Solar Energy Retrofits

Report No: 82-R26

Published in 1981

About the report:

The report briefly describes a survey of some solar energy retrofits, such as solar heaters and Trombe walls, that can be easily adapted into existing buildings belonging to the Department. With their relatively high cost, commercial solar heaters have been determined not to be cost-effective. However, homemade solar heaters are reasonably simple to construct and appear to be cost-effective. The relatively simple and inexpensive Trombe wall also can be cost-effective.
