Correale Center for Urban Environmental Studies, Polytechnic Institute of New York Emerging critical problems relating to the shortages of energy have fostered new inquiries into ways and means of reducing energy consumption in urban centers. The modern, high-rise office building in aggregate may consume as much as 20% of the total energy used in a large city and consequently is deserving of more careful analysis than has heretofore been given. A recent inquiry has verified the need for further study in depth of the apparent significant waste of energy in large office buildings.
