Energy Conservation Measures

The use of reduced ventilation as a domestic energy conservation measure carries with it an increased radiation dose from radon gas. Linking the increase in radiation dose to a health detriment allows the external health cost of this form of energy conservation to be evaluated in monetary terms and compared with the external health costs of means of supplying primary energy on a common basis. The external health cost of reduced ventilation domestic energy conservation measures (draught proofing and double glazing) is estimated to be about 7 p/kWh based on an average home in the UK. This is at least two orders of magnitude greater than the external health costs of electricity fuel cycles based on PWR, solar, wind, hydro and gas and about one order of magnitude greater than those based on coal and oil.

University Settings

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.
