As part of this effort, they propose to install and testa solar powered heating and cooling system in a government-owned building (including local, state, and federal governments as well as school districts) in the Houston area. This activity is being handled through the Texas Governor's Energy Advisory Council (GEAC) and the Texas Solar Energy Society (TxSES). The Houston Solar Energy Society (HSES) has been asked to assist in identifying buildings suitable for the installation. The system planned for the Houston area is a 75-ton Rankine Cycle heating . and cooling system now being developed for NASA under contract by Air Research Corporation of California. It is scheduled for installation in May, 1978. The system can be designed into a new building or retrofitted into an existing building. The building must be thermally well designed and have an efficient con- ventional heating and cooling system. Building orientation is not critical, but it would have to have sufficient area (probably roof area) for installation of southern-facing panels. Further, the panels must not be shaded by trees or other buildings, either now or in the future. NASA would require the building owner to pay for any major building modifica- tions which might be necessary to accomodate the ERDA/NASA furnished solar heat- ing and cooling equipment. The government would fund the equipment and its instal- lation using local contractors for installation. They will also install a data collection system which will send data directly and automatically to computers at the Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. After the testing and demonstration phase is completed. the equipment will probably be donated to the building owner although it could be removed if preferable. • EOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ' t • Further information ertinent to the ro osed installation is included in P p P a letter from Mr. R. M. Gunner, NASAa to Mr. A. C. Askew, Executive Director, GEAC, (copy attached). If you would like to propose a government owned build- ing to be considered for the installation please contact me. Applicants must provide the building data asked for on the attached data sheet. Since the~.GEAC and NASA need this information as soon as possible, please let us. hear from you no later than February 11, if you are interested. I will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. The completed forms are due by February 18, 1977. We anticipate that a list of potential suitable buildings will be forwarded to GEAC about February 21, 1977.

As I promised Mr. Bob King in our phone conversations of recent weeks, I am forwarding the following additional information on our Operational Test Site program. We are seeking sites far testing 67 developmental solar heating and cooling system prototypes in various locations throughout the country. There are three locations in the State of Texas which have been designated as general test locations. The types and sizes of systems by city are identified on the attached list. The long axis of the buildings with pitch roofs should be oriented in an East-West direction. An existing building or one to bt/ constructed is acceptable. Buildings should contain a forced air heating or heating/ cooling system . In commercial buildings , we will consider solar heating and cooling system testing in only a portion of the building where zone heating or cooling is employed and where total square footage is excessive. There should be no shading on the building roof from trees or obstructions. Also attached are the proposed terms of an agreement which would need settlement when an acceptable site is chosen. Since the solar energy system prototypes will be given to the site owner after completion of the test period, we are initially seeking sites owned by the federal, state, or local government. • • • 2 We have already looked at some sites in the El Paso area (which were actually located in New Mexico) and need to identify some candidates in Houston and Ft.

The City's General Obligation Bonds, that is tax supported , would sell at a much lower interest cost and, being one issue say for $3 Million would attract bidders all over the country, and we would there- fore recommend that the City consider this approach. At your convenience, I will be glad to come to La Porte and discuss this matter with you or the City Council.

YOUNGBLOOD & ASSOCIATES is a small, responsive, user-oriented firm. engaged in the design of Commercial, Industrial and Institutional projects with emphasis on the flow of work within the structure. We are experienced in all phases of construction from simple wood framing to a slip-formed shear core 21 story office building. The majority of our work has been in they200,000.00 to 1,000,000.00 range. Having served for five years as Chairman of the Transportation Committee for the City Planning Department of Fort. Worth, we have a good working knowledge of Municipal Government operations. Historically, our track record shows a high degree of accuracy in predicting costs and producing contract documents which provide completed facilities within budgetary limitations. Firm policy provides that the principal is involved in each project, controlling design and dictating material and system selection. This provides the client with a finished product which serves the precise purpose intended. As an example of the way system selection can affect the cost of a project, this office recently completed a building design which is being constructed at a cost of 47,000 after previous planning had produced less overall square footage when priced as an alternate to other construction at X120,000. The firm is located in the Vanguard Building in Clear Lake City providing easy communication with the City of La Porte. Finally, the office is not currently loaded down with work and is able to devote full attention to this project immediately. Very truly yours, YOUi?GBLOOD & ASSOCIA~Zj`ES ~~. ( ~ ~ r' t/i ' J co E .
