Turn Down Tuesdays

Turn down for what?...Finals Week!

Quadrupling your coffee intake.  Never taking your eyes off your computer. Falling asleep at your desk with your head on an open book.  Sound familiar?.....

Welcome to finals week!

As we become consumed by exams, projects, papers, and presentations, we might forget some simple actions we can take reduce our energy consumption:
  • Try to turn off those lights before your head droops to your desk
  • Set your computer to hibernate after a short period of inactivity (saves more energy than screensavers or sleep)
  • Keep your thermostat at a maximum of 70° in the winter, and remember to turn it down at night and when you go out
Did you know?  You can report rooms on campus that are particularly warm or cold to Work Control at 410-455-2550.  Your report will both make the room more comfortable AND will save energy!
