Abstract
This report presents standards for the use of solar heating and domestic hot water systems in residential applications. The standards have been developed for application in numerous housing programs of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and are a companion document to be used in conjunction with the HUD 'Minimum Property Standards for One and Two Family Dwellings,' 4900 and 'Minimum Property Standards for Multifamily Housing,' 4910. To the greatest extent possible, these standards are based on current state-of-the-art practice and on nationally recognized standards including the MPS and the HUD 'Interim Performance Criteria for Solar Heating and Combined Heating/Cooling Systems and Dwellings.'
