In this paper, the authors specify and estimate a two-level integrated total enerev demand model for the Province of Quebec. The s~ccification of the mod:1 has a close relationship with models currently &d by Canadian public agencies to perform policy simulations and to make forecasts. The focus of the analysis is on forecasting. Two forecasting experiments are conducted while using within sample data. In the first experience, they establish one-year forecasts, while in the second the model is solved recursively over the whole sample, which consists of annual data from 1962 to 1990. It is found that the model has good tracking properties and that most of the forecasting errors are random. The forecasting experiments show no significant structural defects of the estimated model as a forecasting tool. USEC prlvatlratlon bill movln through Congreaa 95105559 Zeyher, A.

Knott, T. PetroleumReview, May 1995.49, (580), 222-m. With the announcement in March 1995 of a further offshore oil and gas discovery, Vietnam reconfirmed both its energy potential and a clear de&mination lo build an integrated petroleum industry. Discusses the country’s commitment to moving towards a market economy coupled with a favourable investment regime which has established Vietnam as one of the most attractive new regions to open up to the international oil and gas industry.
18 ENERGY CONVERSION AND RECYCLING Committed to efflclency 95105560 Energy WorId,Jun. 1995, (229), p. 9. Reports that the Ener Efficiency Office’s Making a Corporate Commitment Compaigo was X unched in October 1991 by the then Seatary of State, Lord Wakeham. The campaign seeka commitment to ene ciency at board level, a commitment that is stiIl missing in aroundYz$ UK companies. The net result of this lack of commitment is wasted ene to the tune of $10 billIon each year, an amount equivalent to the we i# generated annually by the North Sea oil and gas industry. The campaign seeks to reduce this waste by persuading senior management to make a commitment to energy efficiency, to commission a review of how effectively their organisatlon uses energy, and to set performance improvement targets.

Two different solar desiccant- %ehumidification-regeneration systems have been studied. Both have the same glazed area and utilize sir&r mechanisms for dehumidification and regeneration. The solid desiccant used is silica gel and the particle sizes fall in the ranges of 6-8 and 2-4 mesh. The structures of the systems are simple and they are suitable for such applications as air-conditioning, drying, dehydration, and active vlmg.
