The report provides detailed documentation and engineering justification on the individual models and an overview of the NMF library architecture. Low Energy House Designs Adopted by Commercial Builders Builders are adopting many of the designs of houses built under Task 13, Advanced Solar Low Energy Houses. For example, the design of the German Ultra House built in Rottweil is being used by commercial builders throughout Germany. The solar strategies used include thermal transmittance and ventilation to minimize space heating, passive solar energy and daylighting. And, in Canada, the Waterloo Region Green Home which was designed to be energy efficient and environmentally responsible has impacted the building market in several ways—builders are incorporating its advanced house technologies, engineered wood products are becoming the floor system of choice, fiberglass windows have a growing share of the window market, and the wall-mounted water heater is available . . . . . . pmurphy@MorseAssociatesInc.com S LAR UPDATE The Newsletter of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme No. 36, June 2001 Prepared for the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Executive Committee by Morse Associates, Inc. 1808 Corcoran St., NW Washington, DC 20009 USA Editor: Pamela Murphy This newsletter is intended to provide information to its readers on the activities of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme.
