| Radiant Barrier Under Retrofit Metal Roof Creates Solar Air Heating Roof
American Solar recently installed radiant barrier insulation in a previously retrofitted metal roof to
create a solar air heating roof. The radiant barrier insulation system reduced the solar heating load on
the old roof and building below and created air flow paths for solar heat recovery by air-to-water heating
systems.

| Solar Thermal Roofing for HHS Lab
American Solar recently completed an award-winning
campus-wide solar retrofit for an Health and Human Services (HHS) Lab.
The system involved 14 buildings and deployed nearly an acre
of solar roofing, siding, and ground mounted systems. The
overall system capacity is over 4 million BTU per hour.

| Large Heat Recovery System Hill AFB
American Solar installed what is probably the largest solar
heat recovery system in the US. The system captures solar
heat from the existing walls and roof of 2 buildings.
The first building is a six acre medical depot with corrugated
brown siding and a light brown metal roof. The solar-heated
air is recovered from the siding and roof for space heating
and for year round heating of a large paint booth. The total
solar roof and wall surface area used for solar heating is
approximately 10,000 square feet.

| Solar Heat Recovery for Dulles Fire Station
Many buildings at Dulles International Airport, outside Washington,
DC, are covered in corrugated metal siding painted a dark
“Dulles Gray”. Early tests showed that the siding
panel temperature exceeded 100 degrees F on a 40 degree winter
day.

| Solar Heat Recovery at USGS
The US Geological Survey Headquarters is a one-million square
foot laboratory in Northern Virginia. The campus includes
several buildings, housing laboratories, computer facilities,
and a separate heating and cooling plant. American Solar has
installed several ground-mounted emergency generator heating
systems, constructed a building with solar heating roof and
walls over two large emergency generators, and installed a solar
heat recovery system on two metal walls.

| Ground-mounted Solar Heat System USDA
The US National Arboretum is a research laboratory of the
US Department of Agriculture. The Arboretum operates greenhouses
in Maryland to support the research efforts. American Solar
installed solar heating systems to provide heat to the greenhouses
and help control the daily temperature swings that put plants
at risk during the spring and fall months.
