ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

In today's world we continue to consume more and more resources, of which electrical energy is one. As such, ASU has established an energy conservation program and committee. It is important for everyone at the university (employees and students alike) to assist in saving much needed environmental resources and dollars.

ONGOING COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN AWARENESS OF THE NEED TO CONSERVE ENERGY.

• TURN OFF LIGHTS WHENEVER A ROOM IS NOT IN USE OR WHEN LEAVING FOR THE DAY

• TURN OFF COPIERS AND OTHER OFFICE EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF THE DAY.

• GUIDELINES FOR COMPUTERS.

• CLOSE BLINDS IN THE SUMMER TO DEFLECT HEAT, OPEN BLINDS IN THE WINTER TO ALLOW HEAT IN

• BE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED TO CONSERVE ENERGY AND DRESS ACCORDINGLY BY SEASON

• MAKE SURE YOU ONLY PURCHASE APPLIANCES THAT HAVE THE ENERGY STAR RATING.
  

• TEMPERATURE TARGETS WILL BE SET AT 75 DEGREES SUMMER AND 68 DEGREES WINTER FOR THE FOLLOWING BUILDINGS: All Quadrangle buildings, Christenberry Fieldhouse, Maxwell Alumni House, Boykin Wright, Personnel, Literacy Center, Radio Station, Warehouses, and the new Student Center.

• TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT IN BUILDINGS ON THE CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT IS MORE COMPLEX AND WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED TO CONSERVE ENERGY WHILE BALANCING TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY. THEREFORE THE ABOVE TARGETS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO: University Hall, Science Building, Allgood Hall, Library, Fine Arts Center, Performing Arts Theater, Galloway Hall and Washington Hall.

• WEEKEND TEMPERATURES IN CLASSROOMS AND CONFERENCE ROOMS WILL BE ADJUSTED TO SAVE ENERGY IF NO ACTIVITIES ARE BOOKED THROUGH THE BANNER SYSTEM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU RESERVE ANY SUCH SPACES THAT YOU PLAN TO USE.

• EXTRACURRICULAR EVENTS AND RENTALS WILL BE CONSOLIDATED INTO AS FEW BUILDINGS AS POSSIBLE ON WEEKENDS.

• BUILDING MANAGERS ARE BEING ASKED TO TOUR THEIR BUILDINGS AT THE CLOSE OF THE DAY TO INSURE LIGHTS ARE OFF

• PHYSICAL PLANT IS REDUCING LIGHTING WHERE POSSIBLE

• GEORGIA POWER WILL ASSIST IN A CAMPUS SURVEY TO IDENTIFY ENERGY SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES
  
  
• REDUCE LIGHTING IN ATRIUM AREA’S IN ALLGOOD HALL, SCIENCE HALL AND UNIVERSITY HALL BY USING SUN LIGHT INSTEAD OF ELECTRIC LIGHTS
  
  
• REMOVE THE SLIDING COVER ON ALL PHOTO CELLS THAT CONTROL EXTERIOR LIGHTING. THIS SHOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THESE LIGHTS STAY ON ABOUT AN HOUR EVERY DAY
  
  
• REMOVE LIGHT BULBS IN AREAS WHERE LESS LIGHTING IS NEEDED
  
  
• TURN OFF SOME EXTERIOR LIGHTS AFTER MIDNIGHT
  
  
• REDUCE COMMON AREA LIGHTING IN SOME BUILDINGS AFTER MIDNIGHT
