This publication is an administrative guide or manual for energy conservation at higher education facilities. Text and diagrams describe a broad range of energy conservation equipment and management options. Chapter titles, which indicate contents, are: (1) Energy Overview; (2) Energy: Its Conversion, Use, and Waste; (3) Energy Data Base; (4)…

An Australian university architect studying management information systems programs at academic institutions in the United States visited 26 universities and colleges and nine educational and professional associations, including extended visits at the University of Wisconsin and the National Center of Higher Education Management Systems. During…

Presented is a summary of a meeting of architects, college faculty, and government personnel convened to discuss the incorporation of energy conscious design considerations into college architectural programs. These seminar proceedings contain the text of the keynote address and summaries of 13 workshops and 2 panel presentations. Topics addressed…

Describes a minicourse on energy and the environment for nonscience majors. A simulator is used to provide the student with a background on energy and environmental problems. (GA)

Because of the success of major plant retrofit, energy costs at a community college have dropped since 1971 even though both electrical rates and the size of the campus have increased. (Author/MLF)

Because food service in schools is responsible for large expenditures of energy, capital, and operational costs, it is a place where administrators must look to engineering as well as management systems to cut costs. (Author/MLF)

Examines methods for determining thermal efficiency and measuring heat loss in the home. Suggests ways to conserve energy based upon (1) climatic environment and its impact on a structure, (2) physical location of buildings and their microclimate, and (3) behavior modification of the inhabitants. (Author)

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)

Energy conservation measures in building design and use are advocated as the most cost-effective and available option to reduce national energy supply requirements. For journal availability see HE 508 931. (LBH)

Determined if listing thoughts evoked after exposure to arguments presented in a two-sided persuasive communication serves to enhance attitude change and if the number of favorable thoughts listed by preservice elementary teachers following exposure to persuasive communication are related to their changed attitudes toward energy conservation. (JN)

Capital renewal--repair and replacement of facilities--is discussed, as well as inflation, government regulation, changing technology, and financing. A national inventory of campus needs, based on standard definitions and methodologies, and survey and evaluation of current renewal and replacement policies are advocated. (Author/MLW)

A microcomputer, when interfaced with appropriate sensing and control devices, can be used as an energy management processor to manage a building's environmental system. (Author)

Energy management is seen as a necessity for educational institutions. If reductions are not achieved there will need to be economies in other areas of the budget in order to meet energy cost increases. Budgets which used to include 2 percent for energy costs are now having to allow ll percent. (Author/MLW)

Dramatic savings are possible by implementing minor modifications including: energy efficient light bulbs and tubes, ballasts, luminaires (fixtures), controls, operating practices, and revised maintenance. Many different changes can be made without affecting productivity, safety and security, visual comfort, aesthetic appeal, consumer discretion,…

A checklist to use in preparing an energy conservation master plan. (MLF)
