Energy Tips:

  • Always use compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs. 

    Not only will you save ENERGY and MONEY, but you will also save TIME!

    They last YEARS L-O-N-G-E-R! 

    In the US, incandescent light bulbs are no longer available.

    Programmable Thermostats save money! There are many different types.

    If your office or classroom has a separate HVAC unit and a manual thermostat, please contact your Energy Manager for an upgrade.

Energy Managers

  • Always check the weather before you leave home!  You may need an umbrella or coat. 

    Remember to consider your workspace when you dress.  Just because it is cold outside, does not mean it is warm in your office.
