The Macey Center is a solar-heated theater built to combine the conference, drama, and fine arts facilities at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. (MLF)

Administrators need to plan and set priorities in various energy/maintenance areas, and trustees and legislators, faculty and students have to be educated regarding maintenance and conservation. Cost of energy consumption by area and department must be worked out. (MLW)

The Huston Huffman Center at the University of Oklahoma's Norman campus has a jogging track as well as facilities for exercise and court games that are fully accessible to the handicapped. The building is set eight feet in the ground both to reduce its bulk and to conserve energy. (Author/MLF)

Develops simple numerical estimates to quantify a variety of energy economics issues, including among others, a modified Verhulst equation (considers effect of finite resources on petroleum) for supply/demand economics and a phenomenological model for market penetration also presents an analysis of economic returns of an energy conservation…

In 1980, imaginative and innovative approaches to reducing the impact of the energy problem gained 12 colleges and universities certificates of achievement issued by the Academy for Educational Development and awards of $10,000 each from the Atlantic Richfield Foundation. Brief descriptions of the award-winning ideas are given. (Author/MLW)

The main purpose of Project DEEP (Detroit Energy Education Project) was to organize and transmit useful energy information to the lowest income communities of Detroit. The schools were the primary vehicle for transmitting the information. (Author/IRT)

Discusses an instructional method for analyzing energy shortage problems in relation to the environment. (MLH)

At Stockton State College the overall layout and the natural setting are correlated in a way that does not disturb the terrain. Another correlation, both conceptual and operational, exists between the facilities for the arts and the sciences. Available from: Architectural Record, 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020, $5.00 single…

A model energy conservation program analyzes school energy usage and computes the potential savings that could be realized through operational and capital improvements. (Author/MLF)

This article argues that nearly all college and university business and facilities officers can find utility efficiency projects on campus that have at least a 20 percent rate of return on investment, and successfully incorporate them into budgets. These projects are generally more successful when plant operations can retain some or all of the…

It is noted that federal deregulation of the electrical utility industry will allow colleges and universities to buy electrical services from suppliers who provide the best reliability and cost combination. Considerations are examined for the following options: purchasing an existing electrical substation, building a new substation, using on-site…

An energy analysis model is provided for college administrators in which information from their utility bills is used to measure the amount of energy saved and to determine the fuel costs avoided when they undertake an energy conservation program. Because the model explicitly takes into account variations in weather, it provides an essential tool…

This directory offers a comprehensive listing of resources, including films, for energy education. The document is divided into three sections: (1) Publications according to elementary, secondary, and college level; (2) Audiovisuals; and (3) Periodicals. Specific energy topics covered include solar, wind, and biomass technologies. (RE)

This teacher's guide accompanies a course concerning the need, environmental costs, and benefits of electrical power generation. Each chapter of this guide corresponds to a chapter in the course text, and includes the following: a list of behavioral objectives for the corresponding chapter, a list of suggested activities, recommended audio-visual…

Two keys to a successful energy management program are the energy audit and the use of a qualified energy engineer or architect. (Author)
