- The Passive Solar Industries Council is a national association
- devoted to providing practical information on energy conscious,
- passive solar design and construction throughout the United
- States building industry. PSIC provides accurate and easy-to-use
- guidelines, software and general information about energy
- conservation measures (ECMs), energy efficient equipment and
- appliances, daylighting and passive solar architecture. PSIC
- will be publishing Smaller Commercial Building Guidelines in
- mid-1993. Contact PSIC at 1511 K Street NW, Suite 600,
- Washington, DC 20005, (202) 371-0357.

- The National Audubon Society has published a packet of
- information, Building for an Environmental Future, on the
- retrofit of their national headquarters. The packet details the
- ECMs included in the retrofit and the environmental benefits
- associated with each ECM. The packet also provides a listing of
- environmentally conscious architectural firms. In addition,
- Audubon has published a Technical Guide which provides specific
- information on how to incorporate environmentally sound
- principles into any building project. Contact the National
- Audubon Society, Conservation Information Department, 950 Third
- Avenue, New York City, NY, 10022, (212) 546-9195.

- Energy & Economics: Strategies for Office Building Design is a
- guidebook for design professionals which contains strategies for
- designing efficient buildings. The book examines specific
- projects for improving the efficiency of lighting, building
- envelope design, heating, ventilation and air conditioning
- (HVAC), and much more. Each example is examined for its cost and
- energy savings. Contact the Northeast Utilities Service Company,
- Conservation and Load Management, P.O. Box 270, Hartford, CT
