A discussion by an educator, an energy consultant, an architect, and a superintendent of facilities planning on how schools can reform maintenance and operations procedures towards efficient fuel use. (Author/DN)

The president of U.S. Steel explains the thinking behind the Cost Reduction Incentive Award Program: it is a way to involve everyone in saving energy and cutting other costs. He hopes that this awards program will help develop a broad awareness of cost problems among those associated with institutions of higher education and the need for a total…

Schools cannot pass on rapidly rising fuel costs by raising fees. While the price and availability of fuel remain out of the school administrator's hands, the administrator can influence the amount of fuel the school consumes. The administrator can manage four heat sources (heating plants, using conventional fuels, lights, people, and sun) and is…

A voluntary program in Ontario encourages the private sector to reduce its energy consumption in commercial buildings by experimenting with innovative building operation techniques. Charts and tables illustrate the outstanding results achieved by program participants. Yearly energy management forums are convened in Toronto and Ottawa. (MLF)
