E-Book Overview
На английском языке, United States Air Force, 31 pages.This volume of the handbook supports the process of programming Air Force commercial-type (nonfamily housing) facilities. Its focus is the inclusion of passive solar design information in standard Air Force facility programming documents. The goal is to reduce energy consumption in commercial-type facilities through the application of reliable and cost-effective passive solar design concepts. This goal can be achieved only if Air Force facility programmers are both knowledgeable and sensitive to the requirements of passive solar design, and also understand how to include passive solar designrequirements in programming documents.
E-Book Content
United States Air Force Passive Solar Handbook Programming Guide Volume III Foreword The United States Air Force is committed to energy efficiency and the use of renewable forms of energy in all of its facilities when shown to be reliable and cost effective. In its response to the Military Construction Codification Act of 10 USC 2801, Executive Order 12003 and Office of the Secretary of Defense directives, the Air Force has implemented numerous policies and procedures to significantly reduce the usage of fossil fuel derived energy. Since the oil embargo of the early 1970's, the Air Force has encouraged and demonstrated the integration of a variety of energy conserving features, including solar applications, in its facilities. Passive solar systems represent one type of solar application that can be used in almost all facilities to improve their energy efficiency and to lower their energy costs. The audience for this five-volume passive solar handbook is the numerous Air Force personnel and others responsible for programming, planning, designing, supervising construction, commissioning, and operating and maintaining Air Force commercial-type facilities worldwide. This handbook was developed in response to MAJCOM and base needs for information on the integration of passive solar systems into new Air Force commercial-type facilities. The goal of the Air Force Passive Solar Handbook series is to integrate passive solar concepts into the Air Force planning, programming, design, construction, and operation processes for commercial-type facilities. The five volumes of the Passive Solar Handbook are as follows: Volume I: Volume II: Volume III: Volume IV: Volume V: Introduction to Passive Solar Concepts Comprehensive Planning Guide Programming Guide Passive Solar Design (proposed) Construction Inspection (proposed) This is the third volume of the series.
