Peer reviewedCEFP Journal, 1979
Proper humidity will, in a large number of cases, save money for the user. This saving could show up directly because of reduced infiltration and lower thermostat settings. It could show up indirectly in reduced costs for maintenance and preservation and in increased productivity and decreased absenteeism. (Author)

Lewin, Jacqueline – American Educator, 1977
Because there are more schools than any other type of public building, schools are architectural bellwethers, the first reflection of shifts in national priorities. In this article architectural trends in educational institutions are discussed in relation to energy conservation. Examples are offered of schools which utilize solar energy.…

Moravec, Jeff – American School and University, 1981
Two Iowa universities closed for two weeks during the Christmas 1980 holidays to comply with state-ordered budget cuts. Despite lowering building temperatures to 50 degrees and asking employees to take vacation days or unpaid leaves, neither university saved as much money as had been anticipated. (Author/MLF)

National Electrical Contractors Association, Washington, DC. – 1979
Described in this guide for owners and managers of office buildings and small retail stores, is a program entitled Total Energy Management (TEM). The TEM program approach rests on the premise that buildings should be examined in terms of total energy consumption, rather than prescribing energy budgets for a building's separate systems. The…
