Glazing Materials for Solar and Architectural Applications
Editor: C.M. Lampert, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, U.S.A.
Edition: June 2005
Report #: LBL 34436
This report summarizes five collaborative research projects on
glazings. The projects include materials characterization, optical and
thermal measurements, and durability testing of several types of new
glazings.
Accelerated Life Testing of Solar Energy Materials: Case Study of
Some Selective Solar Absorber Coating Materials for DHW Systems
Authors: B. Carlsson, et al., Swedish National Testing and
Research Institute
Edition: February 1994
ISBN: 91-7848-472-3
This report documents the results of a joint study aimed at
establishing the use and limitations of accelerated life testing methods
that are applicable to materials used in solar heating and cooling
applications.
Solar Materials Research and Development: Performance Criteria for
New Solar Materials
Editor: G. Bert Brouwer, Van Heugten Consulting Engineers
Edition: September 1992
ISBN: 91-7848-472-3
This report outlines the principal results of cooperative research on
(1) a means of material selection for various solar applications and
locations, and (2) a methodology to estimate the energy benefits
resulting from such selections. The two primary materials groups
investigated were spectral selective coatings on solar collector
absorbers in solar hot water systems and transparent insulation
materials.
