But the development of similar but more complex systems to both heat water and space resulted in designs which weren't always reliable.
Solar heating systems for houses: a design book for solar combisystems is the collaborative effort of 26 experts on presenting some standard classifications and evaluation processes. It is a response to the increasing need for guidelines in selecting appropriate systems and designing according to the needs of the specific building and the local environment.
The book looks at the environmental advantages that solar combisystems offer, the thermal properties of domestic buildings and design issues such as space requirements and architectural integration of collector arrays. House types covered are detached single-family houses, groups of single-family houses and multi-family houses. Numerous built example case studies are included, as well as guidance on meeting European certification standards. The guide will be useful for hvac and building engineers, installers, architects and solar thermal system manufacturers.
