- Abstract
- Overviews of the building regulatory system in the United States are given along with a listing of the various standards which will be required for the various solar systems, subsystems, components and materials. A list of training activities and manuals of accepted practice is presented. The development of standards for solar applications by the Federal Government is outlined, as well as the potential interface and utilization of the existing consensus standards generating organizations.
