To: From: Subject: PHILIP I~OAF,15 U.S.A. INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE 100 Park Avenue. New Ymk. N,Y. 10017 Bernie Robinson Allene Roberts Da~: April 7, i981 Prevention Magazine Article: "Ventilation and Odor Control: Prospects for Energy Efficiency" The attached report was referenced in an article that appeared in the December. 1980 edition of Prevention Magazine. This report, written in somewhat technical language, explores the relationship of ventilation, odor control and energy efficien- cy. In'the opinion of the authors of the report, William S. Cain, PhD. in particular, the higher ventilation rate required to exhaust indoor odor, and contaminant reduction, requires significantly increased energy use, particularly when smoking is a factor. Further, that additional research (federal grants) in ventilation science be undertaken to achieve "healthful in- door environments and energy efficiency". Several references are made to tobacco smoke as one of the contaminants and "odor nuisances". While certain aspects of this report are based on theory and conjecture, this report and future efforts in this area may be used to fuel arguments of those who advocate restrictive smoking legislation (no smoking saves energy?). Please return the report to me if you feel it should be cir- culated. Shall I order additional copies? " 2440 J TI05390287
