A broad picture of the present energy situation (world wide and in the U.S.) is provided with special emphasis on the present and future role of solar energy in that scenario. The technical aspects of solar space heating and domestic hot water systems are described. Distinctions are made between passive and active systems and operation of each system is described in layman's language. Differences between liquid and air systems are described and comparisons are provided. The factors about which lenders, appraisers and insurers should be cognizant in their evaluation of solar-equipped buildings are identified. Current data are provided on costs of the original equipment, expenses associated with the maintenance and operation of the equipment and the energy savings that can be expected through its usage. A description of legal and insurance factors is included with special emphasis on solar easements, zoning, and safety hazards. Barriers and incentives to solar energy use for heating buildings are described. The procedures that lenders and insurers can use in evaluating solar properties, including life-cycle analysis, are described. (ERA citation 04:042673)
