What with the cost of fuel oil, gas and electricity climbing steadily, it’s increasingly difficult for the homeowner to keep cheerful and warm at the same time. Solar heat may be the answer in the future.
Engineers from Honeywell Inc., recently studied the performance of solar heating and cooling equipment in 12 cities. They came to the conclusion that the sun could furnish 84 percent of the average annual heating requirements for a typical house in New York City and 77 percent of the necessary air-conditioning energy. In Atlanta, the figures were 85 percent and 63 percent; in Chicago fifty percent and 67 percent.
