Hall told the energy committee yesterday that Harvard will have to cut its consumption by 30 per cent to meet federal expectations. He said he was given that figure at the Tuesday meeting of the Government Task Force of Energy, of which he is a member.
Harvard must have its contingency plan for the fuel reductions ready for the task force by December 7, Hall said.
Other suggestions which were discussed by the Energy Committee yesterday include:
* speeding up the installation of Harvard's automation system so that it will be operable in three years instead of five;
* establishing a phone line (5-SAVE) to get input and suggestions on energy conservation from the community;
* using a computer program to check usage of heat per square foot in each building; and,
* investing in storm windows to cut heat loss by as much as 50 per cent
