Energy, 1982, vol. 7, issue 5, 457-463

Abstract: A net energy analysis (NEA) of three different residential solar pond scenarios is performed. A single home, a complex of twenty homes and a community system with district heating are considered. The designs considered, Rabl-Nielsen and Krass-LaViale, are studied for locations in Columbus, Ohio and in Northampton, Massachusetts. The analysis reveals that economies of scale and design considerations influence the net energy ratio (NER).
