Examines the difficulties the electric industry's deregulation created for St. Joseph's University's (Philadelphia) development of a thermal ice-storage system as part of its HVAC design and the school's solution. A monthly equipment summary sheet with year-to-date figures is provided. (GR)

Dedicated teachers and an innovation program make an Illinois summer program fun--while central air conditioning makes it environmentally comfortable. (Author)

The superior insulating characteristics of an exterior wall system has enabled a Massachusetts school district to realize a savings on electric heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems. (Author/MLF)

Years of planning and exhaustive studies have resulted in a striking example of vertical architecture at Louisiana State University's new Medical Center Educational Building. (Author)

A computer system at Kent State University that controls the temperature in nine campus buildings saves the university thousands of dollars. (Author/MLF)

In five high schools electricity is providing the benefits of flexible comfort conditioning as well as savings in space, initial costs, and operating expenses. (Author/MLF)

Most buildings rely on electricity for lighting, power, signals, and other communications. Electric energy is also used for heating and year-round thermal conditioning of spaces. Its ease of transmission, simple control and measurement, and relative safety make it a useful source of energy. This publication is intended to provide those persons…

Renovation can mean expansion or saving an old school from destruction. Electrical climate control equipment was utilized for two major renovation projects. (Author/MLF)

This guide is intended for use by commercial building management and operating staffs to encourage energy conservation. The measures suggested are meant to allow building operation at optimum efficiency while minimizing energy waste. Though mainly applicable to multistory buildings, the suggested energy conservation measures are also adaptable to…

Energy conserving hints that can mean significant savings for the school budget. (Author/MLF)

In this monograph dealing with the suitability of electrically powered systems to emerging architectural trends, emphasis is upon the relationship of mechanical systems to overall building design. Topics discussed are--(1) All Electric Systems are Right for the Times, (2) Electric Systems Enlarge Freedom of Design, (3) Approaching the Question:…

A Florida study replaced conventional light switches with passive infrared or ultrasonic sensing systems to control classroom lighting in an elementary school to determine the performance of such controls in saving energy. A before-and-after monitoring protocol was used for 33 classrooms and 7 offices in which electrical demand data were…

These papers presented to educators within the state of Tennessee represent the latest thinking regarding techniques for long-range energy conservation when planning and constructing school facilities. The current and future availability of energy sources is summarized. Some of the wasteful practices consumers and manufacturers have practiced are…

The layouts and specifications provided are intended as a guide to school boards, educators, and architects. Drawings and room plans illustrate specifications for girls' occupational shop, graphic arts, carpentry (millwork and building construction shop), boys' occupational shop (mechanical), boys' occupational shop (building construction),…

The complexity of today's research laboratories requires a completely controllable environmental surrounding. Research facilities require carefully controlled temperatures, relative humidity, and moisture, and must be free of interference from air-borne sound, mechanical vibrations, and electrical sources. Also desirable are special power…
