Energy Reminder for Spring Break

Thursday, March 14, 2013

Over Spring Break, remember these important steps for energy savings:

• Turn off all computers, monitors, speakers, and printers. If you plan to access your computer remotely, make sure the only thing you leave on is your computer (CPU).

• Unplug all chargers, fans, coffee pots, candle warmers, radios and other items that are plugged into an outlet and can be unplugged without damage.

• Clean out small refrigerators, and unplug with door propped open.

• Remove all food waste from your work space.

• Take home plants or other items that cannot tolerate cooler temperatures. Temperatures in non-lab spaces can reach as low as 55° before the heat comes on.

• Close blinds and tilt slats upwards.

• Turn off lights.

Please be advised that temperatures in OSU buildings may be cooler than usual during Spring Break. For more tips, go to: http://www.okstate.edu/energy/

Have a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
