- Abstract
- The interim performance criteria, developed for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, are criteria and standards for the design, development, technical evaluation and procurement of the solar heating and cooling systems to be used in residential buildings during the solar heating and cooling demonstration program authorized by the Solar Heating and Cooling Demonstration Act of 1974. These interim criteria are intended primarily for use in the solar residential demonstration program and as a basis for the preparation of definitive performance criteria.
