Abstract
Passive solar energy is presented as an alternative to
conventional space heating for existing and future government
family housing units. The extent of the current energy
problem is presented together with the implications of the
findings of the Workshop on Alternative Energy Strategies.
These findings significantly influence the impending energy
problems facing the Department of Defense. A technical analysis
is made of five passive solar space-heating design alternatives
in five climate zones within the continental United
States to determine the potential savings in conventional
heating fuel and dollars to the Department of Defense. In
addition, major advantages and disadvantages of solar energy
are presented. Recommendations for the utilization of passive
solar energy in family housing units conclude the thesis.
