CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1-1
PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This manual provides guidance for the standard
design of active solar energy systems to preheat domestic and service water. The
systems treated by this manual are liquid based. Guidelines apply to the larger
commercial-scale applications that require an effort on the part of the designer, as
opposed to residential-sized "packaged" systems, which in the past have been
available from a number of manufacturers. The concepts developed in this document
are targeted for new construction, although most are also appropriate for retrofit
applications.
1-2
APPLICABILITY. This UFC applies to all service elements and contractors
developing active solar preheat systems.
