[misc.consumers.house] HELP! Need CURRENT solar energy references

ries@trwrb.UUCP (Marc Ries) (07/13/88)

     I need to find a  source  for  timely  (preferably  monthly)
     information  on active [water/air/photovoltics] solar energy
     developments, especially in regards to research, design  and
     application in houses/buildings.

     [Popular Science, P.  Mechanics, Fine  Homebuilding,  Mother
     Earth News, etc.  I either read or subscribe to.]

     In the five local libraries I have  been  too,  all  of  the
     materials on solar energy end at about 1982,  and  most  are
     ~1978  vintage (shades of the end of solar tax rebates).  It
     would  be  a  bummer  to  build  something  based  on   1982
     information that was found at fault in 198[345678] 8-(.

     Most of the companies listed as hardware references  are  out
     of business.

     Letters to the referenced solar magazines (Solar Age -  East
     Coast  and  Solar  Energy  Digest  -  West  Coast) have been
     returned as "moved - cannot forward".

     I tried the "American  Solar  Energy  Society"  in  Killeen,
     Texas.  Unfortunately, they have moved (or went under) about
     4 years ago with no forwarding address either (this from the
     new owner of their old phone number).

     Heck, I would settle for something from out of  the  country
     (in  English).  Canada  seems to be doing alot these days in
     energy conservation techniques.

     Any ideas?
