Texas A&M students will now be
able to predict their utility costs
more accurately since the College
Station City Council approved an
energy conservation program for
apartment complexes at its Thurs
day night meeting,
“We’re trying to help the apart
ment complex owners, the tenants
and the city save money,” said Char
lie Shear, College Station energy
specialist.
The voluntary program will have
three stages:
• Apartment owners and man
agers will be contacted by the city
and those who choose to participate
will be provided a free in-depth en
ergy analysis.
• Apartment complexes will be
given time to implement the sug
gested changes.
• Changes will be evaluated and a
energy efficiency rating system will
be developed.
The rating system will be based on
the improved unit and current elec
tric billing histories, Shear said. Only
those apartments that meet still-to-
be-determined minimum qualifica
tions will be rated. A booklet of these
ratings will be compiled and avail
able to the public.
The ratings allow tenants to lease
an apartment with a better idea of
utility costs, he said.

Students may benefit from
energy conservation plan
illlliMlSllil
Councilwoman Terri Tongco
said, “Some apartment complexes
tell students that their apartments
are energy efficient, but then they
find out that it costs $300.”
Master-metered apartment com
plexes will be benefited by lower util
ity costs, while single-metered com
plexes will be able to use their
energy efficiency as a marketing
tool.
“The ratings will encourage those
apartments with bad ratings to try to
improve their apartments,” Tongco
said.
The city also will benefit through
a lower electrical demand charge
from Gulf States Utilities, Shear
said. He estimated that a minimum
of $69,000 will be saved annually.
The program will take a year and
a half to complete and will begin in
January or February, he said. The
ratings should be ready by fall 1987.
Shear estimates that 15 percent of
the 7,000 apartment units will par
ticipate. Apartment complexes hold
the top three spots in electrical con
sumption and apartment tenants
represent one-third of the city’s util
ity consumers.
Shear said the city has not decided
exactly what will qualify as an “apart
ment.”
College Station is the first city in
Texas to use an energy rating sys
tem, he said.
Applications for Who’s Who Among Students in American Uni-
versifies and Colleges will be available at boxes located at eight dif
ferent campus locations from 8 a.m. today through 5 p.m. Sept. 27.

HUNTSVILLE — Texas prison
officials on Thursday released an
other 2,000 minimum-security in
mates from a lockdown prompted by
gang warfare, a spokesman said.
But 10,500 other inmates remain
confined to their cells at 13 units,
said Charles Brown, spokesman for
the Texas Department of Correc
tions, the nation’s second-largest
prison system.
Prison Director O. Lane McCotter
ordered 17,000 inmates locked in
their cells on Monday after four
prisoners were stabbed to death
within a 24-hour period.
