McColl, Robert W. – Journal of Geography, 1978
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.

Brubaker, C. William – CEFP Journal, 1976
Buildings can be designed in harmony with the natural environment, and new techniques of "active" solar design exist to collect and use solar energy for space heating and cooling. Preservation and reuse of existing buildings and neighborhoods are other ways to conserve energy. (Author/MLF)

Parker, Danny S.; Sherwin, John R.; Sonne, Jeffrey K.; Barkaszi, Stephen F., Jr. – 1996
A 2-year Florida study attempted to quantify air conditioning cost savings when buildings have a white reflective roof. A 10,000 square foot elementary school with a gray modified bitumen roof over plywood decking that had a solar reflectance of 23 percent was monitored for an entire year. After one year of building thermal conditions and…

Turner, William A. – 1999
Building design and construction that helps deliver both superior air quality and occupant thermal comfort, while minimizing energy consumption, are examined. The paper explores an integrated building systems approach that combines the principles of "directed air flow control" and "demand controlled ventilation" where ventilation is effectively…
