Peer reviewedAnderson, Bruce – Environment, 1975
Widespread use of solar energy is unsuccessful with large scale integration required and conservatism of responsible institutions. Rising fuel costs and government promotion may initiate expansion in commercial, environmental, and government establishments, homes, and schools. Difficulties encountered include financing, tax incentives, design,…

Solar retrofits are devices of structures designed to be attached to existing buildings to augment their existing heating sources with solar energy. An investigation of how solar retrofits should be designed to suit the climate and resources of Arkansas is the subject of this report. Following an introduction (section 1), section 2 focuses on…

de Winter, Francis, Ed. – 1974
A consensus has developed among U.S. solar researchers that the solar-powered cooling of buildings is an important topic. Most solar heating systems are technically simpler, and more highly developed, than solar cooling devices are. The determination of the best design concept for any particular application is not a simple process. Significant…

Council of Educational Facility Planners, Columbus, OH. – 1976
Because today's schools consume large amounts of energy and, consequently, pay high energy bills, the term "energy cirsis" is no exaggeration to describe the situation facing educators and school administrators. Schools everywhere are under pressure to use less electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and gasoline. While energy conservation…
