NOTES
6.1 Intended use. In this handbook, the basic concepts of passive
solar design have been outlined and the general climatic considerations that
relate to its applicability in various regions of the continental United
States have been discussed. Even in those regions where solar availability
is low, building performance can always be improved by cost free measures
such as proper building orientation and window distribution. The use of
passive solar design can significantly reduce energy consumed for space
heating both in existing buildings that may be retrofit and in
new construction.
Guidelines for schematic design have been presented that should also
prove useful for initial screening of building designs submitted in response
to a turn key procurement action. More detailed design analysis procedures
were provided for use in the design process or for final evaluation of
candidate designs. Design refinement was discussed in terms of the
efficiencies of a passive solar system, and finally example calculations
were presented for a four-plex family housing unit to illustrate use of the
procedures.
6.2 Data requirements. When this handbook is used in an acquisition
and data are required to be delivered, the data requirements shall be
developed as specified by an approved Data Item Description (DD Form 1664)
and delivered in accordance with the approved Contract Data Requirements
List (CDRL), incorporated into the contract. When the provisions of DOD FAR
Supplement, Part 27, Sub-Part 27.410-6 (DD Form 1423) are invoked and the DD
Form 1423 is not used, the data shall be delivered by !he contractor in
accordance with the contractor purchase order requirements.
