Book Description
Analysis methods for solar design allow the designer or researcher to investigate and, in many cases, predict the thermal performance of a particular building or system. These tools provide an alternative to constructing costly working models and often allow an extended forecast of system behavio, under varying loads and inputs, which may not be attainable through a physical representation. This brochure, developed by the Building Applications and Regulatory Support Branch, is intended to serve as a source guide for available software packages to be used on a variety of microcomputes. It is not to be viewed as a statement of advocacy for any of the methods described within. Detailed technical questions regarding the programs and data files described in this brochure are best directed to the contacts listed with each entry.

Book Description
Energy Developments: New Forms, Renewables, Conservation is a collection of papers that discusses alternative energy sources. In discussing these energy sources, the text considers factors such as technical, economic, and human dimensions. The first part of the text presents articles that cover forms of energy, such as the feasibility of coal gasification and electric power from salinity gradients by reverse electrodialysis. Next, the book reviews materials about renewable forms of energy that include genetically improved hardwoods as a potential energy source and heat pump investigations for northern climate applications. In the last part, the text provides studies that deal with energy conservation, such as shared savings financing for energy efficiency and consumer information, and government energy conservation incentive programs. The book will be of use to scientists, engineers, and technicians involved in the research, development, and implementation of alternative energy technology.
