Energy Savings

To reduce energy costs during the recess, heating and cooling systems in all office and classroom buildings controlled by the É«É«À² Building Energy Management System will be in holiday mode. Air handlers will not run during this time, unless a space is exempt from the program or the temperature in a particular space goes outside of the range of 60 to 85 degrees. Portions of a particular building that do not normally go into night setback mode will not go into holiday mode.

Employees are reminded to shut off and unplug all non-essential electronics before winter recess.
