Ratai, Walter – Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning, 1965
Reports on the state of the Kimberly Senior High School "bootstrap" heat pump system. This system draws its heat from the lights and people in the building. Similar heat conservation systems have been operating efficiently for several years in many office and commercial buildings and are now being applied to schools. Several factors are…

Occupant comfort in glass facade buildings is the problem for which a solution is suggested. Optimum comfort is obtained by intercepting radiant heat before it enters the room. Through a combination of luminaires, induction boxes, and louvers, a "Lite-Therm System" is presented which integrates lighting, heating, and cooling systems into the…

Proposes that human comfort could be provided in otherwise chilly surroundings by filling the occupied space with electromagnetic energy of cm wavelength. Considerable energy savings could be realized from the resultant ability to lower interior temperatures and maintain comfort in the building. (Author/RE)

Peer reviewedAnderson, Bruce – Environment, 1975
Widespread use of solar energy is unsuccessful with large scale integration required and conservatism of responsible institutions. Rising fuel costs and government promotion may initiate expansion in commercial, environmental, and government establishments, homes, and schools. Difficulties encountered include financing, tax incentives, design,…

Ringel, Robert F. – 1979
Solar subsystems and components were identified and conceptual structure was developed for architectural solar energy heating and cooling systems. Recent literature related to solar energy systems was reviewed and analyzed. Solar heating and cooling system, subsystem, and component data were compared for agreement and completeness. Significant…
