The report, which Goodwin said was greeted with "mixed reactions," suggests consideration of a booklet on energy conservation to increase the benefit of energy consciousness.
Seventeeen buildings were the basis of the report's analysis, which showed $2 million were saved University-wide, compared to fiscal 1970-72 base, from conservation measures at 1976 energy prices.
In a report sponsored by the Office of Administrative Studies, other aids in energy conservation, including the installment of storm windows in dormitories during the last few years, Christmas vacation policies and heightened general energy consciousness, along with PEP and Delta automation, were explored for cost effectiveness.
The amount of glass used in several prominent Harvard buildings inevitably comes up when discussing energy conservation at the University. Both Hilles Library and the Science Center have large portions of glass walls and large windows.
Goodwin says most of the Harvard energy conservation proposals are based on cost-effectiveness. "You have to use some theory in a system, but systems are not theoretical; they're practical," Goodwin adds.
