Reseorch On Air Condirioning Plcnned By NAHB

A large-scale testing program of air conditioning is being planned by the National Association of Home Builders, the tests to be made at Austin, Texas.

Twelve full-scale research houses will be built in order to obtain data on operating characteristics of air conditioning equipment and systems, the comparative values of bulk insulation versus reflective types, as well as effects of various types of overhang on heat gain etc. The major air conditioning manufacturers are cooperating in this program, which will be under the technical supervision of the University of Texas. The houses will be completely instrumented by the University and data collected during a full year's operation.

Producers and manufacturers interested in cooperating in this program are invited to write to NAHB Research Institute, 1028 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.

San Franciscans continue to be bombarded by fire prevention missives, aimed by the San F:ancisco Keep Green Committee, organized this yedr for the purpose of educating the people of San Francisco to the importance of fire prevention and extreme care lvhen in the forest areas, natural recreation spots for thousands of Bay Area residents. William J Losh, chairman of lhe Keep Green Committee, recently pointed out that as of August 10, acreage lost in forest fires this year in the state totaled 72,944 ac;es, compared with 27,574 acres for the same period last vear. Losh requested San Franciscans planning to visit recreation areas to exercise extreme caution as the fire haza':d in the forest and range lands of California has been steadily heightened by u'eather conditions.

San Francisco businessmen, newspapers, radio stations and city government have cooperated in making the city's residents conscious of forest and range fire prevention. Recently, more than 16,000 employees of 60 insurance companies in ';he city began receiving fire prevention messages through the Board of Fire Underwriters-another helping hand to the snor,vballing movement.
