(HP-67) Design Calculations for Passive-Solar Buildings

[SlideRule]

An extract from Design Calculations for Passive-Solar Buildings, US DoE (W-7405-ENG-48), UC Berekley (EEB-W-79-09), AUG 1979.

ABSTRACT
The behavior of room temperature in a passive solar building without backup heat is of great interest to the building designer. This paper presents programs for card-reading programmable hand-calculators which compute room temperature over the course of a design day. Instructions for calculating the input parameters, and for running the programs are given, and a brief review of the theory is provided. The program can presently be used only for single-zone unmanaged, direct-gain buildings.
