Performance Assessment Of Photovoltaic Attic Ventilator Fans, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker May 2000

Performance Assessment Of Photovoltaic Attic Ventilator Fans, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Controlling summer attic heat gain is important to reducing air conditioning energy use in homes in hot-humid climates. Both heat transfer through ceilings and to attic duct systems can make up a large part of peak cooling demand. Attic ventilation has long been identified as a method to abate such heat gains. We present test results from using the photovoltaic (PV) attic ventilator fans in a test home to assess impact on attic and cooling energy performance.


Florida Photovoltaic Buildings Program: Status Report, Observations And Lessons Learned, Florida Solar Energy Center, Jennifer Szaro Mar 2000

Florida Photovoltaic Buildings Program: Status Report, Observations And Lessons Learned, Florida Solar Energy Center, Jennifer Szaro

FSEC Energy Research Center®

The Florida PV Buildings Program is a collaborative effort among the Florida Energy Office of the Department of Community Affairs (FEO/DCA), Sandia National Laboratories, the photovoltaic industry, nine end-user groups, and the Florida Solar Energy Center. It complements the federal government's Million Solar Roofs Initiative (MSRI), which calls for one million solar installations in the U.S. by 2010. Based on the present level of activity and assuming a relatively small growth rate, it is estimated that approximately 140,000 solar pool and domestic water heating systems will be installed in Florida by 2010, as well as 20,000 utility-interactive rooftop photovoltaic systems.
