ENERGY CONSERVATION ACTION DAYS
TODAY–WEDNESDAY
|
|
|
|
Due to the extreme temperatures and humidity forecasted, Administrative Operations is declaring
Energy Conservation Action Days for today (June 23), tomorrow (June 24) and Wednesday (June 25).
|
|
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
