Temperatures
As seasons change, so do temperatures! Is your office or classroom too hot or too cold? Remember - you can help out our energy savings by wearing season-appropriate clothing. If assistance is needed, put in a work order.
Energy
Wasting energy wastes our budget! Here are some great Energy Savings Tips!
  Lighting
   - Turn off your lights! Many offices have plenty of outside light for work.
   - Turn off other lights! If you find an empty room - turn out the lights.
   
  Heat
   - Prevent energy loss by keeping exterior doors closed.
   - Wear layers of clothing appropriate for the season.
   - Close your window blinds at night to retain building heat and block out the cold.
   
  Water
   - Report dripping faucets to Physical Plant – put in a work order
   
  Computers & Office Equipment
   - Turn off all equipment when you leave i.e. computers, monitors, printers, fax & copiers
   - Activate energy sleep mode on computers and copiers.
   - Did you know that ink-jets use 95% less energy than laser printers?
   - Use the "print preview" option to find errors before printing - Saves paper too!
   
  Appliances
   - Unplug appliances - microwaves, coffee pots, etc. Many use energy even when switched off.
   
  Other ways to save!
   - Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!
