Inspection Checklist Solar Water Heaters (2007)

Submitted by Raquel Costa on Fri, 03/05/2010 - 14:33.

This is a template document used for inspections in solar water heating systems.

This template document was produced in the framework of the MED-ENEC Project (Energy Efficiency in the Construction Sector), an EU funded project promoting cooperation between EU and MEDA countries in energy efficiency.

This short inspection checklist includes different sections on general data about the system, visual inspection, testing and measurements, user opinion and action list.

Software and Codes for Analysis of Concentrating Solar Power Technologies (2008)

Submitted by Hans Craen on Mon, 02/01/2010 - 11:14.

This 2008 document provides an overview of the various software packages and codes that have been used to support Sandia National Laboratories’ CSP research activities. The report also looks into software programmes which have been developed by other institutions or companies.

The report looks into three CSP technologies i.e. power tower systems, linear concentrator systems and dish/engine systems. For each of the technologies, an assessment of the software is made based on a hierarchy for modeling complex systems.

Solar Combi+: Identification of Most Promising Markets and Promotion of Standardised System Configurations

Submitted by Hans Craen on Thu, 01/21/2010 - 15:34.

This document from 2008 summarises the European funded Solar Combi+ project which aims to support the market introduction of small scale cooling systems in combination with traditional solar thermal systems for domestic hot water and space heating. The small-scale applications are targeted for use in residential, catering, small commercial and office buildings surroundings with a cooling demand of 20kW.

Lebanon: Check List for Solar Installations in Hospitals

Submitted by Baerbel Epp on Wed, 01/20/2010 - 09:00.

Saida Governmental Hospital” The demonstration of best practise - a solar thermal system on the roof of the Saida Governmental Hospital - showed some technical deficiencies at second glance. The monitoring of the system led to a check list including preventive maintenance advice.
