介绍 ORNL太阳能利用研究者们和专题研究组已经在研究革新建筑设计——特别是利用掩土和被动式太阳能作为减少能量的方法。当该实验室的霍利菲尔德(Holifild)重离子研究设施需要一个新的综合办公起居公寓时,太阳能应用组抓住机会,实施他们的一些节能设计,评价它们的效率。这个公寓预计1981年完成,为了找到它的最大节能量,它装有仪器,在今后几年中将鉴测它的能量功能。 INTRODUCTION ORNL’s solar energy researchers and special research groups have been working on innovative architectural designs—particularly using cover soil and passive solar energy as a way to reduce energy. When the laboratory’s Holifild heavy ion research facility needed a new integrated office and living apartment, the solar applications group seized the opportunity to implement some of their energy-efficient designs and evaluate their efficiency. This apartment is expected to be completed in 1981, in order to find its maximum energy savings, it is equipped with instruments that will measure its energy function in the coming years.
