汤头条

汤头条 will implement its holiday energy conservation plan at the end of聽the work day Tuesday, December 20.

The Christmas break affords us the opportunity to reduce our energy consumption聽and realize significant savings on operating expenditures.聽 Your efforts over聽the years to turn off unused equipment and lighting are absolutely critical to a聽successful holiday shutdown. Please join with us in doing everything you can to聽reduce our energy use during this time.

There are several things you can do to聽help, and your efforts make a difference!

• For those of us that come into work at times during the break, please turn off聽computers, lights, radios and any other energy-consuming devices when you聽leave. If you have trouble locating any switches, contact Facilities Management聽at 662-325-2005.
• Remember to check devices and equipment in out-of-the-way places聽and common areas, which may include classrooms, restrooms, storage closets,聽lobbies and lounges.
• Building managers and building operators should ensure聽that all interior and exterior lights are turned off.
• Additionally, all聽responsible parties should be aware of exposed piping that could be subject to聽freezing during the shut-back period. Please notify your building manager or聽building operator if you see any area that needs to be protected. Contact聽Facilities Management at 325-2005 with any building issues if discovered and聽perceived urgent.聽聽
• Heating and cooling settings for holiday breaks should be addressed by the聽appropriate facility personnel. Some buildings are centrally controlled by聽Facilities Management, which will implement the appropriate temperature聽setbacks. In the remaining areas, the building operator should set the聽thermostat to the minimum setting, making sure that the system is not in cooling聽mode.
