In the Federal Register of July 5, 1079, pp. 39354 - 39369, are published the final regulations to implement Standby Conservation Plan No. 2, Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, which will, if implemented, limit temperature settings for heating, cooling and hot water in commercial, industrial and other non-residential buildings. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE REGULATIONS WILL NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS SPECIFIED BY THE PRESIDENT. (It seems safe to assume that implementation will be widely publicized in the media.) The regulations mandate thermostat settings of 78°F minimum for cooling, 65°F maximum for heating and 105°F for hot water. Museums, libraries, archives, historical societies and other such repositories of cultural materials requiring special climatic conditions are eligible for exemption from the regulations under Sections 490.31(a)(4) and-or 490.31(a)(6). Exemption is to be obtained on a institution-by institution basis through a self-certification procedure involving the completion, posting and filing of forms that will be supplied by the Department of Energy. Exemptions will take effect when claimed.
