The Institutional Conservation Program (ICP) is a voluntary grant program designed to help such non-profit institutions as schools, hospitals, local governments, and public care facilities save energy and reduce anticipated energy-related costs. Another primary ICP goal is to conserve oil, thereby reducing the nation's dependence on imported…

In four sections this report examines the effects of rising energy costs on New York State's public elementary and secondary schools and makes recommendations to ameliorate problems. Section 1 gives overviews of both total energy use and energy use in education at the national and state levels, and observes that energy cost increases have forced…

Data and arguments are presented to support the contention that there may not be sufficient fuel to run the proposed American light water reactor program. Success of the program may also depend on unproven technology of the breeder reactor. A moratorium in the light water reactor program is recommended. (BT)

Surveys the energy situation in terms of current demands and resources. Explains proposals contained in the Federal Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) plan for utilization of future sources of energy. The role of science teachers concerning energy education is discussed with suggestions for possible topics and instructional…

This document provides information and suggestions to enable education officials to better control rising energy costs and to plan appropriate reactions to energy supply disruptions. Information is also provided on major changes in federal policies addressing energy shortages and the implications of these policies for state and local…

This technical guide is part of a packet of tools designed to assist state or local government practitioners in organizing and managing an energy conservation program. It gives information on adapting energy conservation methods to existing public buildings and on designing new public buildings with energy conservation in mind. It also discusses…

An engineering-economic simulation model of residential energy use is employed to evaluate the effects of nine different residential energy-use "futures" as to economic impact on Americans to the year 2000. (Author/CP)

Summarizes the programs proposed for the Administration's energy research and development efforts by a special task force headed by the Atomic Energy Commission chairman. Indicates that nuclear research would be stressed in striving for United States future self-sufficiency in energy. (CC)
