REPORT BY THE US.



General Accounting Office








DOD Should Give More Consideration To

Passive Solar Systems For New Military

Family Housing




GAO found that the Department of Defense
(DOD) was making limited use of active and
passive solar systems in its military family
housing units. After DOD evaluated the
potential for using various configurations of
active systems, it generally found such sys-
tems uneconomical. However, it did not
give equal or adequate consideration to
passive solar systems. It had not estab-
lished a policy nor provided guidance to the
military services concerning passive solar.
As a result, detailed evaluations for passive
systems were not routinely made.

Although Department of Energy studies
and demonstrations indicate that many pas-
sive solar features are economical for the
private sector, DOD remains unconvinced
that those features would be economical
for military family housing units.

This report contains recommendations
which should help ensure that passive
solar systems are adequately considered
and included on new military family hous-
ing units where economical.
