Educational Facilities Laboratories is developing a computer-based technical service--The Public Schools Energy Conservation Service (PSECS). As presently envisioned, PSECS would be capable of providing each participating district with information in five areas: (1) guidelines and instruction for establishing an energy usage data base; (2) a…

Gardner, John C. – American School and University, 1975
A computer reduces electricity and steam costs at Columbia University by turning off one or more air-handling devices for a short period of time if the demand exceeds a pre-set target. (Author/MLF)

Collier, Herbert I. – American School and University, 1978
Energy conservation programs at Louisiana State University reduced energy use 23 percent. The programs involved computer controlled power management systems, adjustment of building temperatures and lighting levels to prescribed standards, consolidation of night classes, centralization of chilled water systems, and manual monitoring of heating and…

Hall, Stephen S. J. – NACUBO Professional File, 1975
Harvard's energy conservation plan is presented in detail with the hope that it will suggest practical, cost-effective energy-saving ideas to other institutions, and to dispel frequently-expressed fears concerning the feasibility and acceptance problems of this type of program. The total energy plan incorporates numerous specific elements that…

Vornberg, James A. – 1976
Educational institutions and larger public school districts have implemented computerized systems of planning and management functions. The application of computers to facility management roughly may be divided into two general areas: (1) planning efforts of administrators and designers through methods of simulation, and (2) systems management…
