A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
In 1979-80, a pilot series of workshops for home builders sponsored by the Solar Energy Research Institute, the Regional Solar Energy Centers, and local home builder organizations was offered throughout the United States. The primary objectives of the project were to educate the home builder in passive solar design techniques, to promote favorable attitudes toward solar concepts, and to encourage builders to use solar design in residential construction. Builders and designers were targeted because they are the decision makers in the progress of commercializing solar design in new construction. This report is designed for persons directly involved in developing training programs that promote the commercialization of solar design among builders and designers. The need is outlined for continued and expanded programs for builders to facilitate usage of solar design in the residential sector, based on information provided in nearly 1100 pre- and post-training forms returned.
