Under an agreement between NASA and ERDA-the Energy Research and Development Administration-in the initial phase of ERDA'S 5-yr program for solar heating and cooling, Marshall Space Flight Center would assist in managing the commercial demonstration projects portion that would show the nation's businesses and industries that solar heating, cooling, and hot-water systems could be used economically to relieve the growing demand for fossil fuels. MSFC would evaluate responses to Program Opportunity Notices (PONS)-ERDA's equivalent of NASA's Requests for Proposals-and would administer the demonstration projects resulting from contracts awarded by ERDA. The PONS solicited a variety of commercial projects that would use solar-based systems in commercial buildings; of the 308 proposals received from industry, ERDA expected to award from 8 to 20 contracts during 1976.
