Projects

The four sections in this subseries are grouped together because they were part of the IEC Office files but did not fit into the alphabetical sequence of the general administrative files in Series II.A. The files cover several IEC projects including Solar One and document the relationship of IEC with Shell Oil and SES, Inc. Substantial additional material related to SES is found in Series VI. The files related to Solar One, IEC’s prototype solar house, are the most extensive and document the creation, promotion, funding, and maintenance of the project, which celebrated groundbreaking in 1972 and opened in 1973. Diagrams, photographs, charts, and reports illustrate the energy conversion system of Solar One.
