The Brookhaven National Laboratory Industry Model Program (IMP) has undertaken the development of a set of industry-specific process optimization models. These models are to be used for energy use projections, energy policy analyses and process technology assessments. Applications of the models...

Energy requirements for heating and cooling homes depend strongly on how the space conditioning equipment is operated. Using detailed computer simulations for a typical house, the energy savings for decreasing winter thermostat settings and for further reductions during the night are given as a...

A methodology is developed to compute the total energy requirements for electricity-generating systems using an input-output model that explicitly accounts for the physical flow of energy. The capital and operating requirements of 16 separate energy supply facilities are used to evaluate the...

This paper evaluates the total (direct and indirect) construction requirements for the energy program proposed in the President's 1975 State of the Union Message. Using a linear model of the U.S. economic system, the total material, energy, manpower, and capital requirements are evaluated. It is...
