Fortunately, Detroit Edison customers have plenty of electric power available. Today, and many years into the future. It's a result of a lot of planning, devel- opment and investment and the fact that more than 84 percent of Detroit Edison's power is gen- erated from coal, our nation's most abundant fuel. The balance is generated by other fossil fuels. Looking far ahead, Detroit Edison is conducting research on other energy sources that may prove to be practical in our geographic area. While it may be some time before solar energy developments make possible economical applications for people's homes, the Jubilee Solar Home already will have begun to determine if the sun's energy may someday be a useful replacement for the oil and natural gas now used for heating so that these fuels may be saved for other uses where only they will do. The Jubilee Solar Home looks like a traditional house. But if you walk around to the back you'll see the solar collectors on the roof. Heat from the sun is captured by the collectors, stored in the water, then distributed by air to heat the home. Solar-heated water also warms water for bathing, laundering and cleaning. Solar energy is expected to fulfill 20 to 30 percent of the space heating requirements and 80 to 90 percent of the water heating requirements. On days when the sun doesn't shine or when more heat is needed, an energy-efficient heat pump moves the natural heat, always present in the outdoor air, inside the home. Electric elements provide additional heat as required. In warm weather, the heat pump reverses automatically for energy-efficient air conditioning. The Jubilee Solar Home is exceptionally well insulated to keep heat inside in winter and to make air conditioning more efficient in summer. All doors and windows, and even the fireplace, are designed to be energy efficient. When you visit the Jubilee Solar Home, be sure tZ examine some of the new ideas in electric appliances and lighting selected for energy efficiency, convenience and safety. And note the interior lighting and outdoor security lighting system, designed to use little electricity. Detroit Edison's Jubilee Solar Home was built by Fred Greenspan Development Corporation in cooperation with the Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan.
