Nine building construction projects, whose total area exceeds one half million square feet, were under construction in the Fairbanks, Alaska, area during the winter of 1976-77. These projects were studied to determine the methods used for providing temporary enclosures and temporary building heating during the construction process. The types of construction activities underway at various temperature conditions are reported, and a record of temperature variations in the buildings under construction is discussed. Both black and white and color photo documentation was developed, and several black and white photographs are included in this report. (Author)
