The federal government is aiming to reduce federal energy consumption by 20% by the year 2000, over a 1985 baseline. To achieve energy efficiency results of that size - whether in the private sector or in federal facilities - the best projects and the method of paying for them must be identified. This volume explores the how-to's of both aspects in detail, and discusses the Energy Policy Act; building energy codes and applicable professional standards; energy accounting and analysis, and life-cycle cost methodology; fuel ...

The federal government is aiming to reduce federal energy consumption by 20% by the year 2000, over a 1985 baseline. To achieve energy efficiency results of that size - whether in the private sector or in federal facilities - the best projects and the method of paying for them must be identified. This volume explores the how-to's of both aspects in detail, and discusses the Energy Policy Act; building energy codes and applicable professional standards; energy accounting and analysis, and life-cycle cost methodology; fuel supply and pricing; fundamentals of building energy systems; instrumentation for energy surveys and audits; strategies for increasing energy efficiency in federal buildings; energy and environmental opportunities; implementing performance standards and energy conservation strategies; an agent-based approach to energy conservation technology; and a DOD low energy model installation programme.
