Abducted fifteen years ago and raised by his father's enemies, Demyan Eliav has finally discovered his true identity: Crown Prince of Lorila. He scarcely has time to recover from the news before he's stabbed by a revolutionary, abducted by a smuggler, and imprisoned by a lord who has designs on the throne. Eliav thinks it's all over for him. Until his cousin appears in his cell, offering to assume his identity and take his place. Eliav accepts--he has little choice--and finds himself in a strange city, surrounded by political dissidents. For his own safety he adopts a dangerous disguise: Ulfrim the Giant, the mythical revolutionary and pamphleteer.

Release: 1980
Genre: Buildings
ISBN:

Four building energy analysis codes are compared using two direct gain building models with Madison TMY weather data. Hourly temperature profiles and annual heating and cooling loads are compared and discussed. An analytic verification technique is described and used to investigate performance of the four codes. An anomaly is discovered in one of the codes, and the analytic verification technique is used to test a modified version of this code.

The objective was to develop a comprehensive understanding of the performance of active solar heating systems with intermediate and annual-cycle storage. A daily-step computer simulation was used to determine the performance of solar heating systems as collector and storage size was varied. Simulations were performed for systems in four cities in the U.S.: Boston, MA; Medford, OR; Bismarck, ND; and Albuquerque, NM. The study assumed various building load types and includes both flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors at different tilt angles, and single-tank and two-tank systems. A unique feature of this study was the investigation of systems used to provide backup heat for passive solar and energy-conserving buildings and to meet standard building loads.
