Summary

Two programs discussed that are greatly accelerating the rate at which the US buildings industry is moving towards mass production of energy conserving solar buildings are: the Passive Solar Manufactured Buildings Program and the Solar Home Builders Program in the Denver metropolitan area. These programs provide a useful model for other efforts in accelerating private industry's rate of change. The concepts discussed on which this model is based include: industry participation in planning; incremental change; builders and architects; technical assistance (not money); large volume builders; competitive selection; simplified contractual procedures; public exposure; sensitive, concerned management. Progress of the programs are discussed. (MCW)
