Energy Efficient Buildings Program. Chapter from Energy and Environment Division Annual Report, 1977
A discussion is given of research in energy use and conservation covering a broad range of technical and institutional issues that influence the pattern of energy use. These include research into energy use in buildings, and the analysis of energy conservation strategies and and measures. Research on the thermal performance of building envelopes includes in-situ studies of heat transfer through building components, as well as measurements of air infiltration. Research on the effectiveness of various retrofits is also being carried out. Research on building ventilation and indoor air quality as it affects health includes the effects on air quality of energy-saving decreases in ventilation rates. A computer program for energy analysis of buildings, which is a tool for design, research, and the evaluation of compliance with building codes, is being developed. A national plan for windows and lighting includes beam daylighting, window thermal performance, and state-of-the-art fluorescent lighting. Also included are: demonstration programs that focus on energy conservation in schools, colleges, hospitals and homes; conservation education programs to increase public awareness of conservation strategies; and provision of data and recommendations to enable governmental agencies to establish energy-conserving standards for buildings and appliances.
