- Abstract
- This document provides standardized nomenclature and procedures to serve as a guide to monitor and evaluate research or demonstration type solar hot water or heated and/or cooled systems, components and buildings. Performance factors, data requirements, measurement parameters and data analysis methods are described for typical solar energy systems. The document has resulted from the review and comments submitted by representatives of countries participating in Task 1. Material developed by the United States for use in the National Solar Heating and Cooling Demonstration Program and published as NBSIR 76-1137, was used as the primary reference. The contact persons for each country participating in Task 1 are listed in Appendix A. (ERA citation 10:004543)
