Abstract
The ''Decade 80'' solar house, located in Tucson, Arizona, was built by the Copper Development Association, Inc., to show the use of copper in home building and to demonstrate the use of solar energy to provide space heating and cooling and domestic hot water. The auxiliary energy sources are electrical resistance heating for the domestic hot water and a gas-fired boiler for space heating and operation of the absorption air conditioning units. This program to instrument the ''Decade 80'' solar house and to acquire performance data on the system began in November 1976. The Semi-Annual report gives an overview of the instrumentation effort through February 17, 1978, with the back-up monthly reports reflecting more detail of the effort that went into the implementation of the data acquisition system through April 1978.
