Energy Conservation: Cooling Season Curtailment Steps
In many of the newer buildings this may be done remotely, however in the older buildings adjustments are typically made at thermostats throughout the building. Therefore in older buildings, occupants are asked to please maintain the 78 degrees. In the event of extreme heat--typically when outdoor conditions reach 94 degrees with 50 percent humidity--Facility Services staff will institute an action plan calling for the following:
Thank you for your attention in reviewing these steps in preparation for the challenges of this cooling season. With your support and cooperation, we will again be successful in helping the University in this critical effort. There are additional efforts that ISC is developing and coordinating with the IT Roundtable Committee and the IT Super Users Group. We will provide you additional updates on these initiatives when they are more fully developed. --Omar Blaik, Senior Vice President, Facilities & Real Estate Services

As part
of the University's on-going efforts
to save energy and natural resources, the Department of
Facilities and Real Estate Services plans to institute
the same curtailments used last summer. Across campus,
for the next several weeks, Facilities Services staff will
be fine-tuning
systems and adjusting temperatures from the heating season
set point of 68 degrees to the
cooling season set point of 78 degrees.
