Summarizes findings of an experimental research program to provide a controlled and documented evaluation of the effectiveness of proprietary combustion-type fuel-oil additives and pure compounds for reducing air pollutant emissions and for increasing boiler efficiency. (Author/MLF)

Describes past efforts to conserve energy in Topeka, Kansas, schools and advocates that all school capital improvements contain as many conservation components as financially possible. (MLF)

A voluntary program in Ontario encourages the private sector to reduce its energy consumption in commercial buildings by experimenting with innovative building operation techniques. Charts and tables illustrate the outstanding results achieved by program participants. Yearly energy management forums are convened in Toronto and Ottawa. (MLF)

Summarizes three articles on energy conservation in the schools and presents the recommendations from those articles to educational planners. See EA 504 047, EA 504 048, and EA 504 050. (DN)

A four-day week at a Pennsylvania community college has reduced the amount of natural gas used to operate air conditioning equipment. (MLF)

Illustrates how fuel selection in large school systems can be based on life cycle costs for fuel and buildings as a total energy/cost package. Cites an example of how such cost data can be used to institute changes in school district fuel use. (Author/DN)

Presents the preliminary findings of a study of two schools conducted to determine what can and should be done to reduce the schools' energy consumption without affecting their operation. The schools under study are a 40,033 square foot, non-air conditioned elementary school and a 270,085 square foot, partly air conditioned high school. The study…

Reducing educational services, including community education activities, does not appear to be an effective method of reducing energy consumption. (Author)

Examines the energy crisis and its effect on school operation, facilities planning, and student transportation. Specific recommendations are made regarding ways in which the school plant and the school transportation program can conserve fuel. (DN)

Examines how rising energy costs will affect school planning in general and urban school planning in particular. It discusses the energy crisis, the energy consumption by schools, and the potential for energy conservation in education. Also describes a project to be undertaken in New York City to determine ways of conserving energy in that city's…

An analysis of comparative costs and fuel requirements for summer and winter school operation. (MLF)

Nearly 3,000 U.S. school districts reported to the Federal Energy Administration on comparative fuel costs and use in 1972-3 and 1974-5. The FEA survey represents the first major national effort to assess the impact of rising fuel costs on education. (Author/MLF)
