Account of the deliberations of the Committee on Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6012549
This study of trends in energy demand in buildings and communities began with a workshop convened at the National Research Council in June of 1982. Its aim was to consider and begin to develop scenarios for the future of the built environment likely to reveal needs that could be translated into a research agenda for energy conservation in buildings and community systems. Scenario development was offered as a useful way to lay out the context requiring knowledge to be yielded by research in the future. The workshop set in motion a sequence of interpretation leading to a fresh conception of the approach to be taken to the development of a research agenda. This report addresses the way that happened, the deliberations that eventuated, and the mergence of a group of factors to be more closely analyzed in the future.
