The Gunnison Airport includes a number of solar and energy conservation features: south reflective surface for improved winter solar gain, Trombe wall, night setback, summer vent system, clerestory, high heat recovery ducts, task lighting, high levels of wall insulation, HPS lighting, direct gain slar system and slab storage, operable windows, and airlock entries. After a summary of weather data collected in Gunnison, Colorado, the building performance is presented. The nature and magnitude of all connected loads at the airport are described, and the magnitude of solar contribution is evaluated and discussed using measured weather data. Performance prediction methods used during design are evaluated relative to their accuracy. Owner's and designers perspectives are presented, and information dissemination efforts are described.
