PREFACE
This docxament describes and defines the individual data elements whichhave been collected into a computerized data base, managed and operatedby the NBS Solar Data Center (SDC) for the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) . It is being made available to document thedata which have been collected by HUD over the last four years in theResidential Solar Demonstration Program.
This is not meant to be a stand-alone document. It should be usedalong with Data Resources and Reports [8]* and the final computer list-ings of the SDC files [9]
.
The former publication summarizes the his-tory and background of the SDC, gives a list of the final computerreports available, and describes the data files which comprise the SDCdata base. The latter reference is to the final computer reports whichuse these data files.
It is hoped that the three documents will work together to give the un-initiated user a clear picture of the data being documented. The threedocuments together form a package which is the final report to HUD of
the four-year data base project.

ABSTRACT
The Residential Solar Data Center project staff in the Centerfor Building Technology, National Bureau of Standards, maintainsa computerized data base containing non-instrumented residentialdata from the DoE/HUD Solar Heating and Cooling DemonstrationProgram. This document provides a dictionary of data elementscollected as part of the Residential Solar Program and a directoryof the specific files which contain the data elements. Thisdata dictionary/directory was produced by a computer programwritten in ASCII COBOL. The automated procedure is brieflydescribed in an appendix.
Key Words: Automatic data processing; data dietionary/directory;residential buildings; solar data; solar energysystem; solar heating and cooling.

1 . INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The Residential Solar Data Center (SDC) of the National Bureau ofStandards is responsible for the establishment and operation of an auto-mated data base containing non-instrumented (i.e., not collected byinstruments but through interviews and forms)
, residential solar datacollected as part of the Residential Solar Heating and Cooling Demon-stration Program which is managed by the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD)
.
Data collection contractors to HUD collect and forward data to the SDCwhere a solar data base (shown in figure 1, page 2) is stored on theNBS Univac 1108 compter. This data base consists of the followingfiles
:
a. Grant File : This file contains basic information about thebuilding project and the solar systems for each applicationfunded by HUD. These data are derived from grant applicationssubmitted to HUD and updated with information from periodicfield reports.
,
b. Grantee Report File : Data in this file are based upon reportssubmitted by each grantee (the builder /designer who is awardeda grant) to Boeing Aerospace Company. These reports describethe progress of the grant from design and award of constructionfinancing through actual construction, sale, and permanentfinancing. The grantee’s perception of the ease or difficultyof obtaining financing, and/or obtaining building and zoningapproval, as well as problems with construction or installation,are included.
c. Technical Description File : This file contains basic systemdesign and predicted performance data collected for HUD byDubin-Bloome Associates from a large number of selected non-instrumented systems. A more detailed set of data was col-lected for HUD by the American Institute of Architects/ResearchCorporation for those systems which are instrumented.
d. Technical Concerns File ; Contained in this file are data on
problems found during the design, construction, or operational
phase which were recorded in field activity reports submitted
by Dubin-Bloome and Boeing field representatives . Also con-
tained are data on problems found after construction, as
recorded by the grantee.

e. Marketing Survey File ; This file contains extensive survey ques-
tionnaire results collected for HUD by the Real Estate Research
Corporation from selected builders, lenders, homebuyers, codeofficials, utility companies, and other market participants.The data sample includes representatives of those who chose to
build, lend, or buy a funded solar house and "comparatives" whodid not become involved. Data are also collected after thesale to gauge builder and consumer reactions over a period oftime.
f. Utility Consumption File : This file contains information onauxiliary or "back-up" fuel consumed for selected solar pro-jects. The data are collected from utility companies (withpurchaser agreement) . "Comparative" data are also collected(i.e., utility bills for similar but non-solar homes).
A series of computer reports (shown in figure 1, page 2) produced fromthe solar data base are available to solar researchers.*
Some of the data base files are available interactively (i.e.
,
withinteraction by the data base user over a computer terminal) . Thismeans of access is described in [4].
1.2 Purpose
This publication has been compiled to document the data which have beencollected by HUD and their contractors over the last four years in the
Residential Solar Demonstration Program. Its anticipated use is bysolar researchers, the public sector, and participants in the demon-stration program. The average user is expected to be unfamiliar withthe data base of the Demonstration Program. Therefore, this documentshould be used along with [8] and [9]
.
The latter documents will pro-vide the additional information on the data base and its contents.
Another purpose of this publication is to document the data dictionaryformat and briefly described the computer process used to produce thisformat
.
1.3 Organization and Approach
The data dictionary shown in section 2 orders the data into five majorcategories: technical, marketing, financial, institutional/legal, andmiscellaneous. Other publications on the residential solar data [2, 3,
4, 8, 9] refer to data elements by the data base files which containthem. It was felt that the major use of this dictionary would be bypeople with no knowledge of the computer files but with knowledge of
solar technology. Therefore, this dictionary is organized by cate-gories and subcategories pertaining to solar technology and a crossreference list (page 42) is organized by computer file names.
*References [2] and [3] describe these reports in detail and explainhow to obtain copies of the individual reports.
3
There are two cross reference lists to the dictionary included in sec-tion 3. They are meant to be used for browsing. The first is in thesame order as the dictionary/directory of section 2 and includes thecategory and subcategory headings, data element name, and referenceto the page number of the complete entry in the dictionary. The otheris organized by the computer files associated with data elements andincludes the file name, data element name, and page number of the com-plete entry in the dictionary.

2. SOLAR DATA DICTIONARY/DIRECTORY
The data in this dictionary/directory are organized first into one offive categories (technical, marketing, financial, institutional/legal,and miscellaneous) . Within each category, the data are organized intosubcategories (such as: auxiliary energy, construction information,design, loads, etc.)- Each entry under a subcategory contains up to
seven items of information to describe and define each data element.
o Data Element Name - The name associated with this item of data.
o Level - Data elements are collected at one of five levels:Grant (G)
,
Location (L)
,
Building (B)
,
Unit (U)
,
and System (S)
.
It is important ,to know the level of each data element sincea single grant may include several buildings, i.
e
. a piece ofdata about such a grant may occur once (if it is grant leveldata) or several times (if it is building level data)
.
A singlebuilding may include several units (such as an apartment build-ing) and/or systems. A single system may serve more than onebuilding and/or unit. Knowing the level at which the dataelements are collected can alert the user to the possibility of
multiple occurences of the data in some of the computer filelistings of [9].
o Units - Units or terms of measurement. For example $ (dollars),MMBTUs (10 Btu)
,
% (percent)
.
o File - The name of the file in which the data element is locatedIn some cases, the element is listed in more than one file. Thefile abbreviations are:
The nature and scope of the various data files within the database are explained in Data Resources and Reports [2]
.
o Codes/Values - Mneumonic codes
,
with their values,pertaining to
the data element. For example, the codes for collector type are
AT = ATtic, CON = CONcentrating, EV = EVacuated tube, and
FL = FLat plate. These codes specify all types of collectors
that are currently in the data base. If the list of codes/
values is too long to be included in the table, it is
included in appendix C.
5
o Data Element MIRADS Name - The name by which the data elementis referenced through MIRADS, the interactive interface to thedata base. For more information, see [4]
.
o Definition - An explanation of what the data element is. Many of
the terms used in the definitions are defined in the glossary of

APPENDIX A
Computer Processing for the Solar Data Dictionary/Directory
The Solar Data Dictionary/Directory (DD/D) of section 2 was producedby a computer program called DD-PROG, wirtten in ANSI COBOL and runon the UNIVAC 1100 Series computer at the National Bureau of Standards.Figure 2 gives a flow chart of the computer processing involved in
producing the DD/D.
The program requires three input files to operate:
o Solar Master Table File which contains the name and attributesof each data element to be included in the DD/D;
o Definitions File which contains the definition for each dataelement in the Solar Master Table File; and
o Value/Codes File which contains the list of values and codesfor certain data elements in the Solar Master Table File.
The only output from execution of the program is the DD/D, exactly asshown in section 2.
Complete documentation on this program and format layouts for theinput files is available from the Solar Data Center at NBS.

APPENDIX B
Glossary*
Absorber - The blackened surface in a collector that absorbs the solarradiation and converts it to heat energy.
Absorber Coating - The painted or treated surface of the absorber whichabsorbs sunlight (see selective surface)
.
Absorber Substrate - That part of the absorber plate to which thesurface coating (s) is adhered. In liquid systems, this layercontains the fluid passage tubes.
Auxiliary Heat - The extra heat provided by a conventional heatingsystem for periods of cloudiness or intense cold, which a solarheating system cannot provide enough.
Azimuth - The angular distance between true south and the point on the
horizon directly below the sun.
British Thermal Unit or Btu - The quantity of heat needed to raise the
temperature of 1 pound of water 1“F.
Collector - Any of wide variety of devices used to collect solar energyand convert it to heat.
Cover Plate - A sheet of glass or transparent plastic that sits about aninch above the absorber in a flat-plate collector. The escape of
heat is retarded by the cover plate.
Degree Day - A unit that represents a 1°F deviation from some fixedreference point (usually 65°F) in the mean daily outdoortemperature.
Double-Glazed - Covered by two panes of glass or other transparentmaterial.
Heat Exchanger - A device, such as a coiled copper tube immersed in a
tank of water, that is used to transfer heat from one fluid to
another through an intervening metal surface.
Heating Load - The rate of heat flow required to maintain indoorcomfort; measured in Btu per hour.
*This glossary was compiled from [5, 6, 7].
52
Heat Pump - An electrically operated machine for heating and cooling.When heating, it transfers heat from one medium at a lowertemperature (called the heat source) to a medium at a highertemperature (called the heat sink) , thereby cooling the source(outside air) and warming the sink (the house). When cooling,the heat pump functions much like an air conditioner - takingunwanted heat from the heat source (a building) and dumping it
to heat sink (the outside)
.
Heat Storage ~ A device or medium that absorbs collected solar heatand stores it for periods of inclement or cold weather.
Insulation - A material with high resistance or R-value that is used to
retard heat flow.
R-value - The tendency of a material to retard the flow of heat.
Selective Surface - An absorber coating that absorbs most of the
sunlight hitting it but emits very little thermal radiation.
Specific Heat -• The quantity of heat, in Btu, needed to raise the
temperature of 1 pound of a material 1°F.

APPENDIX C
Codes/Values for Certain Data Elements
Introduction
Codes and their values are associated with certain data element names.For example, data element PJINSTR can be coded in two ways: ’’IN” or
"NO''. The "values" or "meanings" of these two codes are: "IN" means"instrumented" and "NO" means "not instrumented." Appendix C containsall those codes and values which were too long to fit into the SOLARDATA DICTIONARY.
The following pages contain a data element name at the top of the page,followed by the name of the interactive file or files which referencethis data element, followed by the codes and their corresponding values.The data elements are in alphabetical order. The codes/values listsare usually alphabetical with the exception of EVENTS and HARDELEM.
