Abstract

This paper describes a practical study of the use of solar energy for the heating and cooling of a hypothetical, 11 story, downtown, office building in Ottawa, Canada. Detailed concept designs are presented for five mechanical systems - two conventional and three with solar energy input. The solar concepts include solar-assisted heat pump systems and solar absorption cooling. Manual calculation methods, partially developed during this study, have been used to estimate solar energy collected. Construction costs and energy costs for the alternatives are calculated at present-day rates.
