UNC at Chapel Hill Holiday Energy Saving Tips

UNC Energy Management
Saving Energy For The Holidays
 
  • Shut down desktop and laptop computers unless instructed    otherwise by IT or administrative staff. If your computer, speakers, phone charger, etc., are all on one power strip, turn off the power strip after shutting down your computer.


  • Unplug nonessential equipment such as copiers, fax machines, printers, scanners, and chargers. Most equipment draws electricity even when turned off.


  • Unplug all appliances, including coffee makers, microwaves, televisions, and radios. Like office equipment, many appliances use electricity even when turned off.


  • Turn off office lights and as much public lighting as possible in hallways, bathrooms, break rooms, and conference rooms.


  • Check windows to make sure they are tightly closed and locked.


  • Check faucets in bathrooms and break rooms to make sure they are completely turned off and not dripping.


  • Adjust thermostats to 65 degress or less.


  • If you work in a lab with variable air volume fume hoods, shut the sash completely (just as you should any time the hood is not in use).


  • Call in any leaks or maintenance issues to your Facilities Services team (962-3456 or www.fac.unc.edu)

These tips will help keep your building safe and energy-efficient over the holidays.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Energy Management!

  2. I am very interested to learn more and more about Energy Management. Your site is very much helpful to give us latest information on Energy Deregulation.

  3. It's interesting that many of the bloggers your tips helped to clarify a few things for me as well as giving.. very specific niche content. And tell people specific ways to live their lives.Sometimes you just have to yell at people and give them a good shake to get your point across.
