Gas-Fired Space Heating for Schoolrooms. Topical Report, September 1985-January 1986

摘要

The report evaluates the schoolroom heating equipment currently on the market and recommends steps which will lead to an improved position for the gas industry in the area. There are approximately 177,000 educational buildings in the U.S. and of those only about 102,000 utilize natural gas for space heating. Individual gas-fired classroom heaters are used in only a small fraction of those buildings. A telephone survey of 54 school systems throughout the country yielded information concerning the types of buildings used, their heating systems and the fuels utilized. An assessment of currently marketed heating equipment was performed to determine if this type of equipment could be utilized, by itself or modified, for use in school classrooms.
