Title: The Conservation of Energy in Schools--A Feasibility Report.
Authors: Whitworth, Fred E., Canadian School Trustees Association, Ottawa (Ontario).
Peer Reviewed: N
Page Count: 51
Publication Date: 1976
Document Type: Reports - Research
Descriptors: Building Systems, Cost Effectiveness, Educational Facilities Improvement, Elementary Secondary Education, Energy Conservation, Facility Guidelines, Facility Requirements, Flexible Facilities, Heat Recovery, Learning Resources Centers, Performance Specifications, Prefabrication, School Construction, School Maintenance, School Planning, Solar Radiation
Geographic Terms: Canada
Abstract: This report is concerned with suggestions for translating changing educational requirements and community needs into appropriate school facilities that are designed, or changed, to be cost beneficial and to conserve energy. Planning guides are offered for the construction and the improvement of elementary and secondary schools. Some preventative maintenance procedures and heat recovery methods are noted. The report also looks at alternative ways of heating and cooling but particularly at solar heating and heat pumps. Some figures from limited studies given to indicate energy savings that various modifications could be reasonably expected to offer. The uses of building systems and windmills are also examined.
