Simple actions conserve energy

entral Utilities is asking everyone to do their part to help the University conserve energy.

Many electronic devices found in offices--computers, fax machines, copiers, printers, monitors, digital cameras, and stereos--are responsible for a high percentage of electrical usage.

To help reduce the University's electrical usage, Central Utilities is asking employees to turn off electronic devices when not in use for an hour or more. It's also important to turn off fans and lights when a room is not in use or when there is ample natural light available.

Winter is an especially important time to follow energy conservation tips. Closing windows and doors when possible can significantly cut heating costs. Also, keeping radiators free of clutter helps air circulate and heat rooms more effectively.

Central Utilities wants to remind employees to report problems such as broken windows or equipment malfunctions to the Facilities Customer Service Center at x3-4567. For suggestions or questions on energy conservation issues, contact Morris Pierce at x5-4331 or Tracy Herbert at x3-4704.
