Temporary Enclosures and Heating During Construction: A Case Study of the Laboratory Building Addition, University of Alaska.

Temporary enclosures and heating activities during the construction of the Laboratory Building Addition, University of Alaska, were observed during the winter of 1973-74. Methods for providing enclosures and temporary heat are described a total cost of 14,110, or 0.79 of the construction contract price, is estimated for these activities, which focused mainly on the first floor of the three-story building. Records of temperatures inside and outside the building were maintained, and a least squares linear regression relationship with correlation coefficient 0.523 was developed between these temperature differences and the heating requirement. Extensive photo documentation was developed, part of which is contained herein.
