- Abstract
- This report documents and analyzes the building regulatory information gathered during the course of the Residential Solar Demonstration Program from inception of the program through September 30, 1978. The report is based primarily on data collected by HUD contractor personnel and are data which have been transmitted to NBS for inclusion in the NBS Solar Data Base. The report concludes that existing codes do not present a barrier to the installation and acceptance of solar systems; however, code officials need additional training and better back-up material to properly evaluate solar systems.
