Davis, Albert J.; Schubert, Robert P. – 1977
This publication provides a discussion of various energy conserving building systems and design alternatives. The information presented here covers alternative space and water heating systems, and energy conserving building designs incorporating these systems and other energy conserving techniques. Besides water, wind, solar, and bio conversion…

Langdon, F. J.; Loudon, A. G. – Reprinted from The Journal of the Institution of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, 1970
A survey of 914 teachers from 77 English schools was conducted to gather data on summer overheating of school classrooms. Teachers' reports were analyzed in terms of the structural and design characteristics of the rooms in order to isolate the factors responsible for thermal discomfort. The principal factors were found to be the orientation of…

Public building air conditioning systems, which use constant and varying heat and cooling loads, are compared and investigated. Experiments indicated that constant temperature controls based on outside air temperature alone were inefficient. Ventilating a building with outside air and the methods of doing so are cited as being the most economical…

Egan, M. David – 1978
The goal of this book is to present in a graphical format the principles of design for building firesafety. The book's more than 270 illustrations represent the core of its coverage of factors affecting fire ignition and spread in buildings, building site planning for fire suppression and occupant rescue operations, protection by building…

Hutcheon, N. B. – 1964
Solar heat gains (radiation) and its effects on the building environment are discussed, in conjunction with the proper and improper use of large glass areas in the exterior walls of buildings in North America. The difficulties of solar heat gain and of controlling natural light and glare are outlined and said to influence building comfort and air…

Siddiqui, Kalim A.; And Others – 1977
Widely differing local conditions, increased community participation in education, more lifelong education, and decentralization of schools are factors which should affect the architecture of rural primary schools in Pakistan. Also significant are the results of a 1977 survey which indicate that building quality is unrelated to school attendance…
