This program was designed to satisfy the modern needs of architects who are confronted with the constraints imposed by the principles of physics, particularly those relating to energy. The program is designed to make clear, through lectures and laboratory investigations, the relationship between concepts in physics and practice in architecture.…

Explains using exponential mathematics, the effect of growth on rate of consuming energy resources. Concludes that we are running out of energy resources at a greater rate than many people think. Lists few options left such as conservation by stopping growth of consumption, recycling, and research to develop alternate sources. (GA)

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…
