Energy Saving Tips
Your help is needed! All departments, building coordinators and employees are requested to please support reducing energy costs by implementing the following power conservation measures over the holiday closure:
Turn off all personal appliances including heaters, fans, radios and desk lamps. Turn off all office equipment including computers, monitors, printers, plotters, facsimile machines, shredders, typewriters, and overhead task lights. Set local thermostats to low or off. Turn off all equipment in computer labs. Turn off all unnecessary lights, including: overhead lighting, lighting in unoccupied rooms, equipment and storage areas. Reduce overhead lighting, decorative lighting, signage and other lighting inside and out not necessary for security and safety. Maintain security and safety lighting at the lowest acceptable levels. Turn off all kitchen/lunch room appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, toaster ovens, and coffee pots. Ensure that refrigerators are defrosted while staff is present to monitor for any possible leaks. Turn off all specialty equipment that will not be used over the campus closure period. Set fumes hoods to minimum open when not in use. Close all windows and exterior doors. Transportation Services
