The planned corporate office building for Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation in Niagara Falls (New York) is designed to have an inner skin and an outer one four feet from it. Operable louvers will be located between the membranes. An energy analysis of the planned building is included. (Author/MLF)

A cost analysis shows an all-electric Illinois middle school actually operating at less than the original estimate. (Author)

Discusses the financial problems that face school districts as a result of rapidly increasing energy costs and suggests a number of steps schools can take to eliminate waste and greatly reduce their level of energy consumption. (JG)

Programing is described as a process leading to an explicit statement of an architectural problem. The programing phase is seen as the most critical period in the delivery process in which energy analysis can have an impact on design. A programing method appropriate for standard architectural practice is provided. (MLW)

This annotated bibliography is a selected listing of references for use by small business managers in the development of energy conservation programs. The references are listed under the agency through which they are available. The agency listings are alphabetized and include complete mailing addresses. There are 35 agency listings, many of which…

Energy savings through improved operation and maintenance of buildings and through implementation of energy conservation measures are discussed. Energy master planning--an approach to major retrofit and occupancy for existing college buildings, and energy conscious design and occupancy for new buildings--is advocated. (MLW)

Energy conservation methods taken at four colleges and one elementary school. (MLF)

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…

Six different energy-saving treatments for large window areas were tested by Tompkins-Cortland Community College (TCCC) to coordinate energy saving with building design. The TCCC building has an open space design with 33,000 square feet of external glass and other features causing heating problems and high energy costs. Phase I of the…
