BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL  ii



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Demonstrations Of Solar Heating

And Cooling On Commercial Buildings

Have Not Been Very Effective



This report discusses the Department of
Energy's solar demonstrations on commercial
buildings program and focuses on the follow-
ing questions:

     --Are the solar heating and cooling proj-
     ects on commercial buildings demon-
     strating practicality?

     --How successful has data dissemina-
     tion been?

     --Has the solar demonstration program
     aided in developing a viable solar
     industry?

In general, GAO found that many of the proj-
ects are not operating properly and most are
not cost effective. Data collection has been
relatively slow, and it is doubtful that much
of the information collected is reaching the
target audience. Also, the Department of
Energy does not know what impact its pro-
gram is having in fostering development of
the solar industry.
