The Conservation of Energy in Schools--A Feasibility Report.

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.
