Every year, K-12 facilities waste millions of dollars in excess energy consumption. Those dollars may take the form of lost heat through walls, windows, doors, and roofs. Or the villain may be poorly conceived or mismanaged control systems. Those excess funds that districts are sending to the local utility companies could be invested "at home" to…

To reduce fuel consumption at Carroll Hill Elementary School (New York), an energy management program controls both peak demand and total energy usage. (Author/MLF)

Describes a ten-school experiment to identify the most energy-conserving opportunities and to demonstrate their economic feasibility. (Author/MLF)

Energy conservation measures at Longmont High School (Colorado), including reducing air entry, heating water only during school hours, and lowering lighting levels, are expected to save 45 percent in natural gas usage and 20 percent in electric usage. (Author/MLF)

The text of an oral presentation made to the Department of Energy Hearings on emergency building temperature restrictions by the president of the American Ventilation Association. (Author/MLF)

Results of a survey of selected school districts. (JF)

Through comparisons between new buildings and older buildings the energy savings involved in the insulation of buildings are clearly demonstrated. (MD)

Discusses the pros and cons of diesel fuel and propane gas as alternative fuel systems for school buses. (Author/MLF)

Describes results of a study that used CV 100, a fuel additive for use in oil-fired heating systems, on a trial basis in 12 Ontario schools. The test showed an average 12 percent reduction in fuel costs in the schools using CV 100. (JG)

Methods for combatting the problem of skyrocketing fuel prices were discussed at an all-day seminar held recently in Richmond, Indiana. (Author/MLF)

The energy crisis can be a real burden on school transportation budgets. Suggested are items in departmental budgets that should be examined. Survey responses show what a number of school districts are doing to reduce fuel consumption. (Author/MLF)

In 1986, Northeast Utilities began helping shool administrators combat school building energy wastage through a program called Energy Alliance. The typical school can reduce its energy bill by 30 percent by adopting a wide range of conservation measures, including cogeneration, relamping, and energy audits. (MLH)

Outlines the uses of personal computers as energy management tools in school systems. They can account for energy use and costs, monitor monthly consumption, project impacts of projects, and study new design and building use programs. Includes three tables. (MD)

A discussion of savings of water and hot water heating fuel and an appropriate means of choosing the right products. (Author/MLF)
