Energy fund earmarked for Vermont schools

Norwich University engineering students will perform computerized mini audits on about 35 school buildings, evaluating heating cooling hot water insulation storm windows lighting and classroom use. A California program will feed data into a computer to compare schools and propose short and long term efficiency measures. The study cites a Minnesota example of 15 percent cost savings, and Vermont 1973-74 energy usage at 2.5 million and 3.3 million for 1974-75. Some recommendations may be unaffordable, but will include cost versus savings comparisons.
