PREFACE
Contributors to this Conference have shown the wide range of active
and passive solar heating systems which have been researched, installed
and monitored in recent years throughout western Europe and elsewhere.
Yet much remains to be done if solar heating is to reach its full
potential. The Conference Committee hopes that this record of the
proceedings will provide a basis for the further development of these
systems.
Many difficulties have been surmounted in arriving at today's
position. The foundations of the growing confidence of architects and
engineers are to be found in the concerted programmes of research and
development mounted by ty,'o of the sponsors of the Conference the
European Community and the International Energy Agency. Some of the more
tangible products of these programmes have been reported here: component
and system behaviour has been subjected to rigorous scientific study; new
test facilities have been founded; test procedures devised; simulation
methods developed and evaluated; design rules formulated and checked
against measured performance. It has been apparent here that the
willingness to exchange information and experiences, which has always been
a feature of the solar energy scene, remains as strong as ever. A
further information-sharing initiative was noted on the part of another
sponsor, UNESCO - the setting-up of the European Cooperative Network on
Solar Energy, involving countries from both eastern and western Europe.
The pressures of oil price and supply which brought solar energy into
prominence a decade ago have temporarily eased, making this a difficult
time for the industry. As it strives to become more firmly established
in the market-place, hard-pressed governments are applying the strictest
criteria in assessing continued support for the R&D that is vital for the
industry's well-being. Governments are not yet ready to attach values to
the very characteristics that distinguish solar energy from conventional
sources: that it is perpetual, secure, non-polluting, distributed,
accessible and so on. One of the most notable features of the Conference
has been the realistic way in which this situation has been accepted. In
every Session there have been presentations and discussions on cost
effectiveness. New products and ideas for others have been described.
In spite of the difficulties, I sensed a feeling of optimism that the goal
of competitiveness could be reached if the partnership which has been
established between industry, research centres and governments is
sustained.
