Herricks Public School District has adopted an energy conservation program that establishes an energy consumption baseline and makes recommendations to modify systems and operational procedures. (Author/MLF)

A review of the technology and uses of solar energy for heating, cooling, and power production is given. (MDR)

Presented are six papers on water conservation which were presented at a conference in New Jersey. The first two papers present recommendations of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on water conservation and a master plan for New Jersey's water supply needs. The following four papers discuss water conservation with water-saving…

An electrical load limiter system has reduced the electricity bills by 18 percent at a Pennsylvania junior high school. (MLF)

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…

The Memphis City School System was notified by Memphis Light, Gas, and Water that it was necessary to reduce its consumption of natural gas during the winter of 1975-76. A survey was developed and sent to 44 large public school systems to determine which methods of heating energy conservation were used most frequently and which methods were most…

The effect of rising fuel and utility costs is being measured by the reduction of educational programs. (MLF)

Energy reduction measures that achieve significant energy savings at little cost and negligible disruption of the academic environment concentrate on utilities and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment. (Author/MLF)

The future of solar heated homes looks bright. The increase in availability of solar hardware and information along with tax credits point to an increase in both solar water and space heating. Solar systems can add to the value of a house. (BB)

Describes the tremendous management and maintenance pressure the energy shortage causes and offers some recommendations. (Author/MLF)

The purpose of this report is to present and prioritize the major environmental, safety, and social/institutional issues associated with the further development of Solar Total Energy Systems (STES). Solar total energy systems represent a specific application of the Federally-funded solar technologies. To provide a background for this analysis, the…

Twenty-five home maintenance and improvement ideas to reduce utility bills are given. These practical ideas range from hot water heater cleaning and insulation to planting wind breaks. (MDR)

A compendium of energy ideas and concepts, primarily concerning natural gas and electricity, that have been implemented within the Columbus (Ohio) Public School system. (MLF)

Described are some of the better techniques for installing solar domestic hot water (DHW) systems. By using these guidelines, along with the manufacturer's manual, professional installation contractors and skilled homeowners should be able to install and fill a solar DHW system. Among the topics considered are system layouts, siting, mounting…

The University of Illinois' program of "Quick Fix, Refit, and Systems Convert" is described. Lists are given showing conservation measures already taken, under way, or under active consideration. (LBH)
