The purpose of this manual is to educate individuals about one method of heating a building with the sun's energy: through the use of a thermal storage wall. This manual represents the combined and dedicated efforts of nearly the entire New Mexico Solar Energy Association staff. Particular credit is due to Tom Zeller for work on the heat loss section and help with coordination, Dennis Kensil for the glazing information and chart, Bristol Stickney, Lawrence Sherwood, Mary Beth Bliss and Ellen Morris for technical support, Stephanie Paladino for help with research and coordination, Karobi Kumalaugh for the graphics, Anne Cicero for the editing, and Florence Abersold for her hours spent typing. I would also like to thank the following individuals for reviewing our draft and offering useful suggestions: Dr. J. Douglas Balcomb. Dr. Francis... [continues]
