University Of South Carolina Aiken (USCA) Science Building Solar South Facing Collectors & Greenhouses..
….This USCA Building Is "Home" To The Departments Of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, And Physics. … Approximately Aug 11, 2006.


…I moved into this building in the Fall of 1989. Two years earlier, I was on the Science Building Planning Committee and I am happy to say I had something to do with the Passive Solar Energy Collectors (seen in photo, as three long narrow strips of Windows) of this building, as well as its other Energy Saving Features.
….In this North looking view, all the windows you see face South. These windows, one row of windows for each of the three floors, are “Passive Solar Heat Collectors” for the building.
…The building runs East-West, so the longer South side with its long solar windows faces the Winter Sun. In the Summer, overhanging roof shields (seen in photo) prevent any of the sun' heat from reaching the South Solar Windows.

…Our building also has a Diesel Engine, which generates electricity as well co-creation of heat for hot water and absorption air-conditioning.
…The Greenhouses also create a substantial amount of solar heat, even in Winter!
