- Abstract
- The Joint U.S.-Romanian Seminar on Earthquakes and Energy was held September 2-9, 1985, at the Romanian Building Research Institute (INCERC) in Bucharest. During that week over 70 researchers from Romania and the United States met in intense and vivid discussions on topics of building research, with the focus on earthquakes and energy conservation. The volume contains the 29 papers on topics of energy. Those dealing with energy conservation included solar passive and active systems, retrofitting, daylight applications, total building performance, and problems of energy conservation at an urban scale.
