Published by authority of the author, i.e.: 'any copy without the signature of the author and that of the publisher is deemed counterfeit.' / "Heat transmission tests previously made have in many cases been confined to small specimens so that the data secured have proved unsatisfactory when applied to walls of practical proportions. All investigators in this field have profited by the pioneer experimental work of the French physicist, Peclet." â " A. C. WILLARD, & L. C. LICHTY, "A Study of the Heat Transmission of Building Materials," University of Illinois, 1917. / "A French physicist, born February 10, 1793 at Besancon, Peclet, became one of the first scholars of the Ecole Normale at Paris, Gay-Lussac and Dulong being his teachers. Peclet was elected professor at the College de Marseille in 1816, teaching physical sciences there until 1827. He returned to Paris when nominated maître de conferences at the Ecole Normale and was elected professor at the important Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. In 1840 he became inspecteur general de l'instruction publique and retired from this charge in 1852 to devote himself exclusively to teaching./ His publications were famous for their clarity of style, sharpminded views and well performed experiments. His famous book "Traite de la Chaleur et de ses Applications aux Arts et aux Manufactures" [Paris (1829)] was distributed worldwide" â " Thermopedia. / Heating and ventilation was intensely studied in nineteenth century Europe and America. The modernization of buildings as well as the concerns addressed with public health (especially that of cities and against the plague), was seated in the work of Peclet and others. E.H. Ackerknecht's, "Hygiene in France, 1815-1848" is among those studies to recognize the work of Peclet. / Emmanuelle Gallo in a paper took the position that French inventors in the history of heating, can still benefit us today with regard to energy conservation o energy consumption. He discussed in particular the work of engineer Eugene Peclet. â " Emmanuelle Gallo, "Lessons Drawn From the History of Heating: A French Perspective," The Culture of Energy, 2008.
