Abstract

Information is presented on the cost effectiveness of a strategy for reducing energy consumption in buildings by combining energy conservation techniques, such as improved building design and thermal insulation with solar heating and cooling systems. It is concluded, from computer simulation studies used to determine building loads and the interaction of the solar system, that energy conservation is the most cost-effective way to save energy in all buildings at any location, and that solar systems are currently not cost-effective.
