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.…

Geophysical activity increased in 1978, especially seismic gas and oil exploration in the United States and its waters. (BB)

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)

Reviews current research being conducted to harness the energy of the sun. (SL)

Article states that "...the individual, supervisor, and manager must take the lead in saving energy in industrial settings because that is where the greatest amounts of energy are consumed." (Author)

Provides a detailed analysis on how to control energy consumption and billing in school systems. Understanding the utility company's rate structure and the uses of demand readings can increase savings. Includes two detailed charts. (MD)

College fund-raisers should consider prospective donors of natural resource property, especially property that owners may not be developing immediately. Tax advantages to the donor can be considerable, and the college can either resell the property or keep it. Consultation with a petroleum law tax specialist is recommended. (MSE)

An analysis is presented of the environmental impacts of replacing the Winnett School District's existing oil-fired heating system with a new coal-fired heating system with funds provided from a grant under the Institutional Conservation Program. The report first covers the background and need for action, along with the alternative actions…

Buildings should be designed so that energy systems function with maximum efficiency. Re-evaluation of standards for ventilation and lighting is recommended. Heat recovery techniques and topography can reduce heating loads. (MF)

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)

A computer was used to simulate weather conditions in a school district. As a result, several suggestions are made for significant savings on a school district's energy expenditures. (WM)

The higher cost of energy in the future might well dampen the current ardour for industrialization. Cheap sources are the ones most likely to disappear, pointing to a further disparity between industrialized and nonindustrialized societies. (BL)

Discusses present and future problems of producing clean energy. Graphically presents the changing patterns of fuel use in the United States over the past century, and predicts population growth and energy sources and consumption up to the year 2100 for the United States and the world. (JR)

Discusses three major questions directly concerned with energy policy and the improvement of its rationality: Where are we? How did we get here? What can we do about it? (Author/AL)
