I afoot to harness solar energy. But when solar collectors become more common on the residential housing landscape in the future, chances are that most of the building materials used in solar-powered homes will be conventional products sold through local lumber and building material dealers.

Energy conservation no doubt will continue to be a primary consideration in the selection of materials used in construction. This trend was assured when energy became scarcer and more expensive. But except for the solar energy system itself, the solar-powered house will be very similar to energyconscious homes being built today.

A glimpse into the future may be obtained at the Foothills Campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where one of the most signi ftcant solar energy projects is taking place. Under a grant from the National Science Foundation, the uni versity's Solar Energy Applications Laboratory has completed one residential-type solar structure and has two others under construction.

All three buildings feature wood siding, fiber glass insulation and lowmaintenance Andersen Perma-Shield vinyl-clad wood windows in Terratone color with double-pane insulating glass. The first house to be completed has a 768-sq.ft. solar collector and a 1,100-ga1. hot water tank for thermal storage. Hot water serves as the solar heat transport fluid. A central forced air system, a separate domestic hot water tank and an absorption refri gerator unit for cooling (similar to that used for gas refrigerators) completes the svstem.
