Energy Tips

Over the holiday weekend, 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 the holiday weekend. For more tips, go to: http://www.okstate.edu/energy/

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday break!
