OSTI ID:5269879

An agenda is presented on research needs in the field of energy conservation within buildings and communities to be supported by the federal government. The agenda is developed in a futures perspective, presenting material that would be relevant for research and development five or more years from the present. An overview is provided of agenda setting in general, pointing out some of the difficulties as well as possible approaches that any group might encounter while planning research for future, as yet unspecified, needs. A set of boundary conditions was created to help determine subject areas that should be a part of this agenda. Twenty-seven subjects are described as appropriate for areas of research. They are organized into six categories - broad classes of interest under which all related research can be grouped. A description of each category and area is provided, along with suggested topics of specific research projects.
