Please take a moment to review the following safety guidelines for extremely warm weather conditions. http://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/pdf/osha_heatcard.pdf Your continued assistance in minimizing cooling demand while maintaining a safe environment in your facility is appreciated. In addition to the curtailment steps that have already been implemented by the Utilities Department, you can help to reduce cooling demand by: * Shutting off lights in unoccupied areas * Turning off unnecessary/unused equipment and appliances (computers, coffee pots, etc...) * Lowering window shades on the sunny side of the building Portable fans may be used for the comfort of building occupants where needed. Thank you in advance for your attention to the safety guidelines for warm weather conditions and for your assistance in minimizing cooling demand.
