Changing Behavior to Save Energy On Campus
We contracted Integrated Energy Solutions, Inc. to change the way we use energy.
Changes promoted to trim off energy use:
- Turn off unnecessary lights after hours
- Computer Management System Software use
- Tightening after-hours thermostat controls
- Turn off a few lights in highly lit places
- Set the thermostat temperature lower in the winter and higher in the summer
How they do it:
- Promote energy pledges
- Identify where new technology can save
- Inform faculty with monthly savings tips and FYI articles
Whatever they can do to spread the word and get things turned off!
