Help the University 'Go Green' This Holiday Season and Throughout the Year
Turning off or using the power save capabilities of computing equipment, monitors, and printers when they are not in use and unplugging device chargers when they are not charging will save energy and greatly reduce costs to the University. Before you take time off this holiday season, take a moment to shut everything down. The University’s computing utility expense is significant and growing—Do your part to make a difference in saving energy and reducing cost.
Please Note: Some units require that systems remain powered to support daily and nightly processes. Please check with your IT support personnel if you are unsure whether or not you fall into this category. All Laser Lab staff members are required to keep systems on at all times.
If every faculty and staff member commits to saving the University just a quarter a day through efficiencies such as the ones noted above, the institution would gain more than $1.6 million dollars a year that could then be applied to programs and initiatives. In addition to energy and cost reductions, these efforts will benefit the environment by reducing the University’s carbon footprint.
