IMI's Passive Solar
Designer/Builder
Team Focuses on
Life-cycle Costs
IMI's passive solar designer/builder team, formed in September, 1981, is well on its way to creating design concepts and technical materials that will help to encourage designers to specify total masonry passive solar design.
The team, which has been meeting regularly in Washington, D.C., under the direction of IMI director of engineering Robert Beiner, includes: Bruce Rich, VVKR Partnership (architects), Alexandria, Va.; Harvey Bryan, practicing architect and assistant professor of building technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge: Lawrence Lindsey, partner. Princeton Energy Group (engineering and architectural services). Princeton, N.J.; David Painter of Painter & Painter, Inc. (MCAA-member mason contractor), Chattanooga, Tenn.; and James F. Richardson, executive vice president, Bricklayers International Union, Washington, D.C.
Currently the team is developing prototype passive solar designs for: 1) an attached residential townhouse, 2) a midrise (eight stories) residential building. 3) a commercial two-story building, and 4) a detached residence. They

are focusing on a detailed comparative analysis between all-masonry passive solar structures on the one hand, and passive solar structures using alternative types of materials, such as wood and steel, on the other.
"In order to get results which are both comprehensive and accurate," said Beiner, "we plan to use a computer to analyze each structure, beginning with the townhouse and the midrise residential building. The study will cover a life-cycle cost accounting, including initial construction costs, maintenance costs, insurance premiums and energy savings. These figures will be computed for all-masonry continued on page 27
