As part of the ongoing “Got Green?” campaign organized by the Office of News & Public Affairs to raise awareness of the need to save energy across campus, the Office of Engineering and Energy offers a few quick and easy ways faculty, staff and students can help to conserve over the upcoming spring break. Before leaving campus:
• Turn off items that consume electricity, such as lights and individual coffee makers.
• Unplug chargers and other electronic equipment.
• Shut down computers.
• Review requirements and assignments for turning off office equipment such as printers and copiers.
• Where possible, close blinds and curtains in offices and classrooms.
• Close windows.
• If a refrigerator is empty, raise the setting to a warmer temperature.
• In offices with thermostats, lower the setting to 55 degrees.
