Item #d92apr86

Order the following from American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), 2140 Shattuck Ave., S. 202, Berkeley CA 94704 (510-549-9914):

Energy Efficiency and the Environment: Forging the Link, E. Vine, D. Crawley, P. Centollela, Eds., 418 pp., 1991, $28. Contains 20 papers by leading researchers, program analysts and policy makers focusing on how planners can incorporate environmental externalities in natural resource allocation. Based on papers presented at a 1990 summer workshop on energy efficiency in buildings.

State of the Art Energy Efficiency: Future Directions, E. Vine, D. Crawley, Eds., 287 pp., 1991, $26. Contains more papers from the same workshop as the previous entry, covering energy efficiency technologies and programs, resource planning and policy making, and data collection and analysis techniques.

Efficient Energy Use: A Development Strategy for Brazil, H. Geller, 164 pp., 1991, $24.50. Prepared at ACEEE in cooperation with Electrobras (Brazil's national electric utility) and the University of Brazil, this report describes the country's progress in electricity conservation, the potential for further improvements, how implementation of electricity conservation measures can be accelerated, and how those in the U.S. and elsewhere can help Brazil. Reviewed by M. Stetson in World Watch, p. 40, Mar.-Apr. 1992.

Energy-Efficient Motor Systems: A Handbook on Technology, Program and Policy Opportunities, S. Nadel, M. Shepherd et al., 379 pp., 1991, $27. An interdisciplinary team of experts evaluates the existing motor stock, outlines specific approaches for increasing efficiency, reviews experience to date and makes recommendations.
