A questionnaire distributed in March 1977 to 71 Canadian school systems sought information on any energy conservation programs that the school boards might have undertaken. Based on the 43 replies received, a 60 percent response rate, the findings are reported and some suggestions are offered. The first section on energy conservation at the board level, including policies and costs, reveals that only 20 of the 43 respondents have officially developed a program. Responses to the second section, energy conservation in the schools, indicate that 32 boards use one or more energy-saving measures. Substantial savings were effected by simple and no cost methods; more substantive measures involved improvement in the operation and maintenance of existing equipment and the modernization of the existing buildings and equipment. The final section sought information on the importance given to the topic of energy conservation in courses, and on staff and student contribution. Fourteen boards offer courses with an energy content, usually in the sciences. Eight boards continuously upgrade their custodial staff through classes and seminars, two others through upgrading classes only. (Author/MLF)
