Follow temperature guidelines
bull Cooling 74degF - 78degF (occupied) 85degF (unoccupied)
bull Heating 68degF - 72degF (occupied) 55degF (unoccupied)
Lighting
- Turn off lights when you leave the room
- Take advantage of day-lighting
- Use task lighting instead of overhead lighting

- Turn off lights in common areas where applicable
Energy Conservation
Page 28
Computers
- Make it a habit to turn off computers when you leave for the day
- Turn off and unplug all speakers printers scanners monitors and
other peripherals when not in use
- Set power options to put your computer in sleep mode after 10-15
minutes of inactivity
- Screensavers do not save energy
- Look for energy consumption when making new computer purchases
Electronics
- Turn off TVs stereos fans and other electronics when not in use
- Use a power strip to turn off multiple devices at once
- Unplug chargers when not in use
Energy Conservation
Page 29
Appliances
