Not long ago, many Arizona residents took part in the national observance of Sunday, an event much like Earth Day in 1970, which focused public attention on the need to preserve the environment. The main theme of Sunday was the potential and importance of solar energy, especially in the state of Arizona with its abundance of sunshine. With me today is Dr. Terry triffid associate dean of the University of Arizona College of Engineering.

That is, when people first began to realize that this had potential for heating homes are supplying power to industry and for various other purposes. One of the leaders in this research and activity in general was Dr. Aden my now who's still with optical sciences, Vice President, Richard cassander. Is has been very active in this field for a number of years. And only recently have we been able to bring together these diverse activities in the College of Engineering and elsewhere and create a unified facility happens to be located on the roof of the Civil Engineering Building.

So that new ideas could be evaluated. It turns out that solar energy is not like energy that you get from burning petroleum or burning natural gas or nuclear fuels. In the sense that it's a lower grade energy, it's a distributed source, and you don't get as high temperatures with this energy sort. And consequently, have to resort to special devices to make good use of it. Not that it can't be done, it certainly can, but it's just different technology. And so, new types of solar collecting devices need to be evaluated for their efficiency. What this means largely is that if the device's main function is to heat water, for example, as many solar collectors are designed to do, then you need to evaluate properly, you must bring water to the collector at a low temperature and then see how much the collector heats it and measure the temperature as it leaves and it from those two numbers, you can then begin to get the measure the efficiency of the device and we need, we need standards on solar devices, we need careful evaluation of these and this basically is what the solar facility is for is to measure and make measurements on and evaluate new types of solar collectors.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884#t=111.0,214.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884/transcript/37746/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: How many projects do you have underway up there at the present time data retrieval,","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884#t=215.0,219.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884/transcript/37746/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: there are half a dozen, about literally six new collector types, really new collector types that are being evaluated. There are spaces devoted to two other standards, we might call that we we use two as a basis of comparison. The system itself is essentially a circulating closed loop water circulating system with a cooling tower and storage tank in it so that you can reduce the temperature of the water and then you take it out to collectors and you heat it there. You make measurements about as I indicated earlier about the the differential the difference between coming in coming out temperatures. And a data collection system. Of course you have a few other things like tie downs for the collector so they won't blow off the roof. And you have to protect against freezing because even freezing once in a closed loop water system is not good. You have to also chemically keep the water under control so that you don't get scaling and the pipes building up and destroying the whole system.

And I'll come back to that in a minute too. But I think the best way that it can be used has to be that question has to be answered, depending on whether you mean new construction, or existing construction in the first place. Let's, let's rule out most large industry, because except for uses to supply process heat, solar energy simply doesn't generate high enough temperatures to be very usable, without very special devices that are tend to be expensive and require long term capitalization and residences and small businesses, however, is quite another story. And it's, at the very least, can help people save a lot of energy, reduce utility bills, and so on right. Now, if the proper things are done. Not that it will do it entirely by itself, but it will help to reduce the other bills. So let's talk about new construction first. Probably the most helpful thing there that one could do is to plan the house, right? That's called passive solar utilization. And basically what it means is that one should have their house oriented properly, which is to say, Windows on the south with proper overhangs. Now, the reason I say proper is because the sun is higher in the summer, than it is in the winter. This means that you can design an overhang length, such that the sun will come into your house in the winter and stay out in the summer. Added to that, if you have masonry masses or something like something like that in the house, then you can use the site you can store the sunlight during the day and let it reradiate at night for heating. Probably the old, thick walled Adobe structures, anyone who's ever lived in one of those knows that they're quite effective. And it's simply because of the thermal storage that occurs in the walls. And the small windows and interior patios and a lot of other devices that can be utilized very effectively, this is all called passive solar these days. In addition to Well, I started to say cooling is a harder problem. But suffice it to say, without going into great detail that a lot can be done with evaporative cooling, perhaps to stage evaporative cooling. And again, thermal storage in the sense that you can cool a mass as well, not as well, but effectively. Also, that can then absorb heat during the day for hot days. That's all for new construction. Obviously you can't rearrange your house if it's already built. And it's also difficult to put in Windows or not exist and things like that. Nevertheless, for houses that have that already exists, there are many things that can be done. This is called retrofitting. And you can do everything from adding insulation to modifying overhangs to rethinking your cooling system. Believe me, there are errors in thermostats, people seem to have blind faith in the thermostat, they put it on a certain number. And they think that that's it and in fact, it may be off four degrees or three degrees. And that may make that many 10s of dollars difference in your utility bill on the month. So there, there are many things that can be done. And in fact, the state solar energy research commission is sponsoring work to provide answers for people in all these areas","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884#t=308.0,545.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884/transcript/37746/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: is the use of solar energy growing here in the state","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884#t=546.0,549.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1953/collection_resources/73841/file/159884/transcript/37746/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: are very definitely there's more activity all the time.
