AN AUTOMATED CENTRAL BUILDING CONTROL SYSTEM IS BEING INSTALLED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH PRIMARILY TO CONTROL HEATING IN 21 BUILDINGS. AN OPERATOR CAN SELECT A PARTICULAR SYSTEM FOR SURVEILLANCE OR ADJUSTMENT, AND AUTOMATICALLY A LARGE SCALE SCHEMATIC OF THE SYSTEM IS DISPLAYED ON A SCREEN AND ALL CONTROL CIRCUITS ARE SWITCHED TO THE SYSTEM UNDER…

A COLLEGE CAMPUS HAVING A LARGE NUMBER OF SEPARATE BUILDINGS WITH ONE BASIC HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM IS AN IDEAL SITUATION FOR REALIZING GREAT BENEFITS FROM CENTRALIZED BUILDING CONTROL SYSTEMS. TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS AND ADVANTAGES OF SUCH SYSTEMS ARE DISCUSSED BRIEFLY AND DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SYSTEM AT FOUR MAJOR UNIVERSITIES ARE GIVEN. THIS…

Heat recovery systems are operating successfully in climates ranging from that of Florida to those of Michigan and New Jersey. (Author/MLF)

Three phases leading to the automation of the mechanical building systems on the Harvard campus are described. The systems allow a single operator to monitor and control all the mechanical systems, plus fire, flood, and security alarms, for all buildings in a large area of the campus. (JT)

THIS IS A FINAL REPORT OF A STUDY OVER A FOURTEEN MONTH PERIOD FROM APRIL, 1959 TO JUNE, 1960 OF HEATING AND COOLING TWO SCHOOL CLASSROOMS AND A COMPARISON WITH A THIRD CLASSROOM IN WHICH THERE WAS HEATING AND FRESH AIR CIRCULATION ONLY. ALL THREE ROOMS HAD AN AIR-FLOW DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. A TYPHOON HEAT PUMP PROVIDED HEATING AND COOLING IN ONE…

A soundproof, windowless school is completely comfort conditioned through the use of the modern heat-with-light system. (Author)

Discusses principles of heat transfer from a lighting system and describes incandescent downlighting and radiant heating effects. (KJ)

Heat-recovery wheels and heat pumps provide efficient, economical temperature control for the Hanford school, Richland, Washington. (Author)

Author, a product manager in the Environmental Products Division of IT&T, emphasizes the money-saving aspects of airconditioning. (SP)

Describes results of a study that used CV 100, a fuel additive for use in oil-fired heating systems, on a trial basis in 12 Ontario schools. The test showed an average 12 percent reduction in fuel costs in the schools using CV 100. (JG)

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)

This speech explains the principles of both ceiling radiant heating and cooling systems and describes how these systems achieve climate control. The relative merits of the two basic types of systems are discussed and related to the school environment. (MLF)

Widespread use of solar energy is unsuccessful with large scale integration required and conservatism of responsible institutions. Rising fuel costs and government promotion may initiate expansion in commercial, environmental, and government establishments, homes, and schools. Difficulties encountered include financing, tax incentives, design,…
