number of different geographic areas in the United States to assure
a realistic and effective demonstration of the solar heating
systems and combined solar heating and cooling systems involved,
and of the dwellings and other buildings themselves, in both rural
and urban locations and under climatic conditions which vary as
much as possible.
(b) Consideration shall be given to projected costs of commercial
production and maintenance of the solar heating systems and
combined solar heating and cooling systems utilized in the
demonstration programs.

under this subchapter to those projects in which funds,
appropriated by any State or political subdivision thereof for the

heating and cooling components and systems, are committed before or
after September 3, 1974.
