Solar energy management systems development program. Final report

Description: This document describes the requirements of a general-purpose solar controller, the novel control system, and sample application of that system. The investigation showed that solar systems vary in terms of temperature setpoints and differentials. Also, system design details, such as the particular placement of temperatur sensors, lengths or types of ducts, etc., affect setpoint and differential values, even for systems with similar mechanical schematics.

Selective IR reflective coatings development. Semiannual report, July 24, 1978-January 24, 1979

Description: Two low temperature deposition technques, a glow discharge activation technique and an ion plating technique, were investigated as methods for coating thin plastic membranes with solar transparent, infrared reflective semiconducting oxides. The glow discharge activation technique was shown to produce coatings with better optical properties than the ion plating technique. Repeatability of coating properties with the glow discharge technique has been a problem whose solution appears to lie in bet… more

Automated energy management systems for small buildings. Final report, Volume 1: technical document

Description: Energy controls can perform a valuable function in energy conservation or energy-management strategy in buildings. While the more-simple controls can be applied to virtually any building, the more-complex automation systems are currently available only to large buildings where their greater costs may be justified. At the present, however, there is a lack of effective, automatic energy-management control practices and schemes available for application to small buildings. This is due, in large me… more
