Winter Guidelines for Energy Conservation
- Buildings that have centralized temperature controls will be set at a temperature of 70 degrees. This includes administrative, academic, and shops.
- In buildings and rooms with thermostats that are not centrally controlled, individual occupants should manually set the temperature to 70 degrees.
- Building occupants are encouraged to remove all items that block heating registers, radiators and baseboard radiation strips to allow proper heat distribution and air circulation to each space.
- The campus community is encouraged to close all exterior windows and doors in order to minimize heat loss from buildings. Doors should not be propped open.
- Faculty and staff members are requested to make sure that roll-up overhead doors remain closed when not in use.
- Dress appropriately to the season and keep thermostats set at 70 degrees.
- During the heating season, open blinds, drapes and curtains to let sun in. If cloudy, close them to keep the heat in especially at night.
- Use hot water sparingly.
