Notes on new building designs that conserve energy by taking advantage of natural resources. (JF)

An eight-year-old rapidly growing community college serving the Denver metropolitan area will soon have the nation's largest solar-energy heated installation. (Author/MLF)

Dozens of schools throughout North America already are putting solar equipment to limited uses, scores are conducting or contemplating solar feasibility studies, and at least one school now in operation is applying solar power to every phase of its energy program. (Author)

Energy conservation high on the client's priority list led to a solar collector roof for the new science building at the Madeira School, located in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. (Author/MLF)

A solar heating system combined with increased thermal insulation at Parker Junior High School has resulted in a savings of about 75 percent in energy use. (Author/MLF)

A project testing solar heating and cooling in an existing building, the George A. Towns Elementary School, is intended to provide information on system design and performance, allow the identification and correction of problems encountered in installing large units, and gauge community/user reaction to solar equipment.

This annotated bibliography is a selected listing of reference materials for use by local government officials in the development of energy conservation programs. The references are listed under the agency through which they are available. Agency listings are alphabetized and include complete mailing addresses. There are 46 agency listings, many…

At the University of Southern California solar-access design research project, Barry Knowles and students have devised a solar envelope: the largest volumetric container over a land parcel that allows solar access to all adjacent neighbors within useful time constraints. (Author/MLF)

At the Shenandoah Solar Recreation Center in Georgia, solar energy is used not only for heating and cooling, but also for ice making. (Author/MLF)

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…

Man's use and misuse of energy have created problems in all sectors of society. Many are asking what can be done to help solve these problems so that future energy needs will be met and the quality of life in Canada can be assured. This guide of directions and information focuses on information known to be readily available locally. Introductory…

A leading passive solar heating expert advocates more extensive uses, outlines various familiar approaches, and evaluates many existing built examples. (Author/MLF)

In the current period of questioning of architectural values and directions, the implications of energy use on form must be confronted sooner or later. Efforts by various practitioners at combining art and technology are shown. (Author/MLF)

The proposed Niskey Lake Middle School is designed to have solar heating in half of the building, solar water heating for the entire facility, and solar cooling for the administration area. (Author/MLF)

This report examines the role of implementation centers as a vehicle for speeding the use of solar energy and energy conservation. It covers a study of previous building industry innovations; a brief review of the diffusion of innovation literature, including several case studies; identification of the solar thermal application process and…
