Extremely hot weather is coming our way for the next few weeks. Please close all blinds and turn off and unplug what you can. Remember to hydrate, especially if you are outdoors. Purdue is asking for this week at this time, but I recommend considering this request into next week, or until we can get below 90 degrees. <https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/47973598/1539707437/80194456/0/124872/?72f79f7f=aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWlsbGlua3MucHVyZHVlLmVkdQ&01f4f553=MTUzOTcwNzQzNw&b77777bc=NDc5NzM1OTg&e4eaa8c3=MTI0ODcy&x=4ea2551d> View as a Web page<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/47973598/1539707437/106316945/0/124872/?b44ed14b=NDI3ZjA5YTEtMWI3NC00ZWU1LWJmZGItY2YzMWFjZDQwMGY4&9bc9e11f=MTI0ODcy&bcd98c89=MjYwNTcyMTE2NTE&x=c6ba8a8a> [Purdue logo] [https://mailimages.purdue.edu/purdue-oevpt_physical_facilities/energybuttons...] ENERGY CONSERVATION ACTION DAYS Wednesday - Friday Due to the upcoming extreme temperatures and humidity forecasted, Administrative Operations is declaring Energy Conservation Action Days<https://maillinks.purdue.edu/t/47973598/1539707437/105512142/0/124872/?x=4357704a> for Wednesday – Friday. ACTIONS TO TAKE * If possible, consider re-scheduling research activities for cooler parts of the day or different days of the week. * Close fume hood sashes completely when not in use to reduce the amount of conditioned air that’s exhausted. * If you are able to, increase your thermostat by a few degrees to reduce air conditioning demand. * Close windows, blinds and doors to prevent heat from entering. * Turn off lights when rooms are unoccupied to reduce electricity use and eliminate the heat given off by the lights. * Turn off and unplug any unused equipment/devices to reduce electricity use. * Eliminate or reduce indoor heat sources, including autoclaves, lasers and ovens, especially during the hottest hours of the day. RESULTING OUTCOMES By working together and taking actions, we will: * Reduce energy consumption * Ensure our campus utilities are running smoothly * Keep indoor spaces comfortable Please report suspected maintenance concerns to Operations and Maintenance through the usual process.
