The Fuel and Energy Crisis Is
Here and So Is Cold Weather
Governor Holshouser through the Office of William L. Bondurant, Secretary of the Department
of Administration, has issued a directive to all State Institutions and Agencies Operating Physical
Properties to put forth maximum efforts to conserve fuel oils, natural gas, electricity, and gasoline.
The following paragraphs are taken from the memorandum out of Mr. Bondurant’s office.
“There exists today a serious shortage of fuel oils and natural gas. There is no relief from this
shortage apparent within the foreseeable future. We must, therefore, regard the shortage of oil and
energy on a nationwide basis as something much more than a temporary condition. It is, therefore,
necessary that all efforts be made to conserve this energy.
Current efforts to obtain commitments to supply fuel, particularly No. 2 fuel oil, for the for
thcoming fiscal year are very discouraging. It may, therefore, be anticipated that rationing of this
fuel supply may become reality. The same condition is also possible with regard to No. 5 and No. 6
fuel oil. Natural gas is already available only on a limited basis.
In order to effect maximum conservation, it is requested that you establish a program of con
servation leading toward a reduction in consumption of fuel of all types to provide a minimum saving
of 10 percent. Some suggestions in accomplishing this conservation are as follows:
1. Reduce domestic hot water temperature from all sources to 120 degrees.
Give consideration to reduction of temperatures in all living areas of buildings to the minimum
consistent with protection of health.
3. Provide for further temperature reductions wherever possible in University family.
4. Install lockable thermostats which are adjustable only by physical plant personnel in all
spaces. In other words, eliminate thermostats which are adjustable by occupants.
5. Reduce the amount of outside fresh air makeup, particularly during extremely cold weather,
to the absolute minimum consistent with health of the occupants.
6. It has been noticed that some institutions and agencies maintain steam on heating coils in
multi-zone systems in certain buildings on a year round basis. It is requested that this practice be
discontinued and that during the non-heating season steam but cut off all heating equipment which is
not needed for operation.
7. Institute a continuing maintenance schedule to inspect and repair all possible points of steam
leakage, including control valves, manual valves, flanges, steam traps, expansion joints and all
similar places.
8. Institute procedures for maintaining maximum efficiency in boiler operation and other fuel-
fired equipment. Routine and regular maintenance is essential to insure proper combustion and
maximum efficiency. Combustion control and increase boiler efficiency can result in a considerable
saving, especially in central heating plant installations. However, the same rules should apply in
smaller unit installations.
9. Discontinue the practice of purchasing and installing electric baseboard heaters and electric
unit heaters to replace heat by installed systems. In other words, it is necessary to practice con
servation in the consumption of electrical energy as well as in the consumption of fuel oils.”
The fuel crisis has finally begun to place a greater threat upon the lives of the American people.
For instance there is talk in the air concerning the rationing of fuel, no driving on Sundays the
reduction of speed and longer vacations for students during the winter months when heat is needed.
The fuel crisis has begun to really affect all of us.
