The second of six booklets designed as a guide for energy management in hospitals. Its main objectives are to provide a sound basis for the approach of thermal energy management, including both heat and cold generation; it is divided into three main parts: heat generation, heat distribution, coldgeneration and distribution.

The first of six booklets designed as a guide for energy management in hospitals. It provides an introduction to the booklets and the management perspective. It is designed to help institutions to identify the requirements, fund structures which support the initiatives, carry out certain procedures and ensure that the comfort of the facility is maintained, as well as the proper service, and energy with its associated cost is minimised.

This paper describes a research project undertaken at the Building Research Station to measure wind pressures at rhe GPO Tower, London. and dynamic strains in the tower shaft. The derelopment of a suitable pressure transducer, which uses strain gauges as sensors, is described together with the. installation at the tower. Some of the problems of strain gauging large civil engineering structures are outlined.
