Title: Shenandoah Community Center: a total solar design concept
Abstract: The new town of Shenandoah, Georgia, 25 miles southwest of Atlanta, is projected to have a population of 40,000 on 7200 acres. The solar heating and cooling system of the Shenandoah Community Center building consists of 10,584 ft./sup 2/ of reflector-augmented flat-plate collectors, a nominal 200-ton lithium bromide absorption chiller, 20,000 gal. of hot water storage, and 60,000 gal. of chilled water storage. This article discusses the design, operation, and analysis of the system, which provides space heating and cooling for the building as well as domestic water heating. The Center was due to be dedicated and opened to the public late in 1976.
