- Abstract
- A detailed computer thermal analysis of a selected school was made to determine the breakdown of its energy usage with respect to lighting, heating, ventilation, and equipment operation. The report also gives the results of a one-week ventilation test conducted in a typical urban classroom in New York City to determine the effect of reduced ventilation on the interior environment, including the concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen, the change in dry-bulb temperature, the variation of relative humidity, and the activity and response of the students.
