Grab a sweater and prepare for a cooler campus
The temperatures have dropped and winter conditions are coming to our campus. A reminder to bundle up and dress appropriately to stay warm and safe from the winter elements.
Practice these less energy-intensive methods to stay warm and cozy this season.
- Layering up! Grab a sweater or blanket. Layering can help adjust your body temperature by putting on and removing items to maintain an even level of comfort while you work or study.
- Checking that windows are closed before leaving your building. Ensuring doors, windows, and window blinds are shut/closed and latched to keep heated air in the room it’s intended. When windows are left open overnight, your space will likely be cooler when you arrive and may take more time to reach a comfortable temperature level.
- Check that vents in your area are free from obstructions. Make sure air can flow freely in your areas to ensure heat is evenly distributed in your space.
By taking these actions, you are helping to address climate change, and will help you preserve heat, stay comfortable and save energy!
