Hutcheon, N. B. – 1964
Modified and controlled relative humidity in buildings for certain occupancies is discussed. New criteria are used in determining the needs, desirability and problems associated with humidities in a building. Severe winter climate requires that special attention be given to the problems associated with increased indoor humidities during cold…

Faye, Bernard – UNESCO Journal of Information Science, Librarianship and Archives Administration, 1982
Studies specific problems arising from design of archives buildings and examines three main purposes of this type of building, namely conservation, classification and restoration of archives, and the provision of access to them by administrators and research workers. Three references are listed. (Author/EJS)

Collier, Martin H. – Library Journal, 1982
Discusses the construction of a high density, mobile shelving storage facility addition to the General Library at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana campus. Building criteria, space considerations, and the utilization of mobile storage technology are noted. Illustrative material is provided. (EJS)

General Electric Co., Cleveland, OH. Large Lamp Dept. – 1966
Integrated systems utilizing the heating potential of lighting equipment are discussed in terms of the implications for design and the methods for evaluation and control. General principles cover heat transfer, heat from lamps and luminaires, and control of lighting heat. Suggested systems include--(1) total control systems, (2) bleed-off systems,…

Brown, G. Z. – Journal of Architectural Education, 1980
A growing awareness of environmental problems and energy scarcity has led architects and engineers to reevaluate their approaches to building design. Three approaches to combining environmental control systems with design in the Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon are discussed. (MLW)

Mason, Ellsworth – Library Journal, 1967
Quality, not intensity, is the keystone to good library lighting. The single most important problem in lighting is glare caused by extremely intense centers of light. Multiple interfiling of light rays is a factor required in library lighting. A fixture that diffuses light well is basic when light emerges from the fixture. It scatters widely,…

Hastings, S. Robert; Crenshaw, Richard W. – 1977
A multitude of design strategies are available to achieve energy-efficient windows. Opportunities for improving window performance fall into six groups: site, exterior appendages, frame, glazing, interior accessories, and building interior. Design strategies within these groups can improve one or more of the six energy functions of windows: solar…

Canipe, Stephen Lee – 1982
The School Retrofit Design Analysis System (SRDAS) developed in this study provides a non-technical method for the school administrator to use in evaluating alternative energy saving retrofit and new construction design possibilities. By providing a high degree of flexibility, SRDAS is applicable to a wide range of school building and retrofit…

Christensen, G.; And Others – 1964
The testing plans, procedures, and results of an experiment are revealed concerning the thermal performance and variable factors of unvented double windows, their heat transmission and inner surface temperature. Data are given to help improve the design and development of standards for the thermal performance of windows. Building humidity, window…

Loudon, A. G.; Petherbridge, P. – 1968
Public building air conditioning systems, which use constant and varying heat and cooling loads, are compared and investigated. Experiments indicated that constant temperature controls based on outside air temperature alone were inefficient. Ventilating a building with outside air and the methods of doing so are cited as being the most economical…
