sector. This program also implements mandated building energy regulatory programs. We are requesting $14.1 million for these research, technology transfer, and regulatory activities in FY 1987.

Of the funds requested, $11.9 million are for activities under the purview of this committee; $9.5 million for research and development projects and $2.4 million for program direction. The research and development funds are for three subprograms: Building Systems, Technology and Consumer Products, and Analysis and Technology Transfer.

We are requesting $3.5 million for the Building Systems subprogram in FY
1987 to continue research in walls, roofs, and indoor air quality,
infiltration, and ventilation. The wall research will include thermal
testing of different types of walls, evaluation of wall thermal
anomalies, evaluation of the influence of mass on energy use, and study
of foundation designs and earth contact.

Our roof research focuses on improving the energy efficiency and durability of roofs. In FY 1987, research areas will include testing the thermal performance of high and low efficiency roofs under field conditions, developing diagnostic probes for quantitative measurements of moisture in roof systems, and developing a mathematical model to predict thermal performance of composite roofs.

In FY 1987, we will continue our investigations of ways to maintain acceptable air quality in energy efficient buildings. These efforts will include studies of radon entry and mitigation methods and of the

generation and distribution of biological aerosols. We will also continue development and evaluation of infiltration, ventilation, and air leakage measurement systems.

We are requesting $5.0 million for the Technology and Consumer Products subprogram in FY 1987. The purpose of this research is to provide technologies needed to develop more efficient building energy conversion processes and equipment. The greatest promise for significant energy savings in building equipment appears to be in the areas of thermally activated heat pumps and advanced lighting.

In thermally activated heat pumps, we will continue research to advance the technologies for engine-driven and absorption systems. In lighting equipment research, we will continue to investigate advanced light sources with emphasis on magnetically loaded lamps and electrodeless gigahertz lamp discharges. We will also continue to study the optimized integration of lighting system components into the total building.

The purposes of the Analysis and Technology Transfer subprogram are to provide the analytic tools and information needed for program planning and to ensure that research results and information on conservation in buildings are transferred to potential users. We are requesting $1.0 million for this subprogram. This funding will support centralized technology transfer activities, continued U.S. participation in International Energy Agency agreements, technology assessments, and policy and program analyses.

We are requesting $2.4 million for Program Direction. This funding will provide salaries, benefits, and travel for a staff of 45 FTE's to manage the Buildings and Community Systems program.

Industry

The FY 1987 budget request for the Industrial Programs is $15.6 million. These funds will be used to carry out work in four subprograms: Waste Energy Reduction, Industrial Process Efficiency, Industrial Cogeneration, and Implementation and Deployment. The goal of these activities is to encourage improved energy efficiency in industry, which accounts for approximataely 37 percent of total U.S. energy consumption. The Department's activities in the industrial area consist of a comprehensive program of carefully targeted technological research and development, combined with technology transfer and other implementation efforts. The R&D activities focus on selected high risk ventures which are not likely to be pursued by the private sector alone and most are carried out by private institutions operating under cost-shared contracts or cooperative agreements with the Department.

The Waste Energy Reduction subprogram supports research and development on improved combustion efficiency through oxygen enrichment, improved burner designs, and sophisticated combustion controls; waste heat recovery by development of industrial heat pumps, high temperature recuperators, and ceramic materials for heat exchangers; and research into waste materials utilization and CO2 generation and recovery. In FY 1987, $6.3 million is requested for this subprogram.

The Industrial Process Efficiency subprogram includes laboratory testing of technology to produce steel sheet directly from molten metal; R&D for advanced sensors and control systems; advanced separation systems; and testing of electrode materials for process electrolysis. In FY 1987, $5.5 million is requested for this subprogram. These new technologies hold great promise to reduce the energy required in basic industrial processes.

The Industrial Cogeneration subprogram focuses on research for coal/ water slurry-fired diesel cogeneration systems with high electrical to thermal output and direct conversion of thermal to electrical energy. In FY 1987, $1.5 million is requested in this area.

The Implementation and Deployment subprogram supports a number of activities for technology transfer. These include targeted workshops, seminars and technical symposia, and the development of written materials focusing on technologies developed with DOE assistance. Altogether, $500,000 is requested for this subprogram.

We are requesting $1.8 million for program direction to support 26 full-time equivalent positions to manage the Industry program.

These technologies, if successfully brought into production, can provide U.S. industry with important improvements in productivity and help regain technical leadership positions vital to our success in world markets.

Transportation

9

The FY 1987 budget request for the Transportation program is $19.8 million to continue R&D in four subprograms: Vehicle Propulsion R&D; Alternative Fuels Utilization; Electric and Hybrid Vehicle R&D; and Advanced Materials Development. These activities focus on the transportation sector, which accounted for approximately 27 percent of total U.S. energy consumption and, more importantly, 61 percent of U.S. petroleum consumption, up from 51 percent in 1973. The objectives of the Transportation program are to contribute to improved energy efficiency and enhanced diversity of available end-use technologies. These programs provide the technology base necessary to support private sector efforts to develop technologies which are either more efficient or serve as alternatives to those based exclusively on petroleum.

In FY 1987, $6.5 million is requested for the Vehicle Propulsion subprogram which supports research and development of high efficiency and advanced heat engine technologies. This area includes R&D on the automotive gas turbine and the heavy duty adiabatic (uncooled, minimum friction) diesel engines. The goals for both the gas turbine and the adiabatic diesel projects are to establish proofs-of-concepts and develop advanced heat engine technologies which have at least a 30 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over comparable conventional engines, meet emissions, safety, and noise standards, have alternative fuels capability, and have competitive life-cycle costs. Funds will be used to initiate a follow-on gas turbine component development project and to continue component evaluations of developed ceramic structures in a single-cylinder adiabatic diesel engine test cell, as well as the actual design by industry of a baseline multi-cylinder adiabatic diesel system.
