Direct linkBarto, D.; Cziraky, J.; Geerts, S.; Hack, J.; Langford, S.; Nesbitt, R.; Park, S.; Willie, N.; Xu, J.; Grogan, P. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2009
Consumers are constantly being presented with choices that have economic, environmental, and lifestyle/social dimensions. For example, is an energy-efficient hybrid car (with regenerative braking) a better choice than a regular petroleum-only vehicle when considered from all three dimensions? Surprisingly, although each and all of these dimensions…

Peer reviewedBoffey, Philip M. – Science, 1975
Descriptors: Energy, Environment, Environmental Education, Fuel Consumption
Peer reviewedMatthew, K. – School Science Review, 1975
Outlines a project in which the students calculate their family's energy budget. Presents efficiency guidelines for various appliances that convert to heat or kinetic energy. (GS)
Descriptors: Energy, Fuel Consumption, Physics, Science Activities
Peer reviewedBamberger, C. E.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1978
Discusses the possible advantages of decomposing water by means of thermochemical cycles. Explains that, if energy consumption can be minimized, this method is capable of producing hydrogen more efficiently than electrolysis. (GA)
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Energy, Energy Conservation
Peer reviewedCowking, A.; And Others – Physics Education, 1978
Explains the function of a central heating system and calculates the total heat energy required to heat a house. Estimates annual heat requirement and amount of fuel needed. Gives detailed calculation of heat required for a particular house as an example. (G A)
Descriptors: Costs, Design Requirements, Energy, Energy Conservation
Peer reviewedLovins, Amory B. – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1974
Examines possible energy options and outlines assessments and conclusions influencing recent top level energy thinking and planning. Indicates that no nation on earth appears to have either a coherent long-range energy strategy or the institutions needed to devise one. (JR)
Descriptors: Depleted Resources, Energy, Environmental Education, Fuel Consumption
Peer reviewedPhysics Today, 1975
Explains efficiency in terms of thermodynamics, and states specific ways in which energy efficiency can be increased in the following areas: automobiles, industrial processes, and indoor use in the home. (MLH)
Descriptors: Efficiency, Energy, Energy Conservation, Fuel Consumption
Peer reviewedSalamo, Gregory J.; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1979
This program was designed to satisfy the modern needs of architects who are confronted with the constraints imposed by the principles of physics, particularly those relating to energy. The program is designed to make clear, through lectures and laboratory investigations, the relationship between concepts in physics and practice in architecture.…

Peer reviewedBartlett, Albert A. – American Journal of Physics, 1978
Explains using exponential mathematics, the effect of growth on rate of consuming energy resources. Concludes that we are running out of energy resources at a greater rate than many people think. Lists few options left such as conservation by stopping growth of consumption, recycling, and research to develop alternate sources. (GA)
Descriptors: Energy, Energy Conservation, Fuel Consumption, Mathematical Applications

Kuhnle, Carl J., Jr. – 1977
The program proposal is designed to address the increasing demand for trained personnel to support the installation and maintenance of solar energy systems at residential and commercial sites. The three main objectives of the proposed program are: (1) to develop a flexible curricula to train a solar heating and cooling workforce; (2) to identify…
