Solar Building
The Solar Building, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was the world's first commercial building to be heated primarily by solar energy. It was built in 1956 to house the engineering firm of Frank Bridgers and Donald Paxton, who were responsible for the heating system design. The novel building received writeups in ''Life'' and ''Popular Mechanics'' and was the subject of an NSF-funded research project in the 1970s. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1985〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nmhistoricpreservation.org/documents/PropertiesByCounty.pdf )〕 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔
==History==
Bridgers and Paxton came up with the idea for an experimental solar-heated building in the early 1950s. After two years of design work, the Solar Building was constructed between March and August 1956 for a cost of $58,500. The heating system operated successfully for six years but was nevertheless converted to a conventional boiler system when the building was expanded in 1962. However, the 1973 oil crisis caused a renewed interest in solar energy and brought fresh attention to the Solar Building. In early 1974, Penn State researcher Stanley Gilman received an NSF grant to restore the building's solar heating system and operate it as part of a multi-year field study.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.earthalert.org/B_P%20Solar%20Building%20Brochures.pdf )〕 The system was deactivated following the conclusion of the project but remains mostly intact.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb22/nrb22_X.htm )〕
