Because of extreme heat expected across the Midwest and anticipated high electric demand on the regional grid, Facilities & Services (F&S) is designating today as an Energy Alert period for the Urbana campus.
F&S asks that all students, faculty, and staff in university facilities help maximize unit and individual energy conservation efforts, especially between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m., when demand is typically the greatest. Please take additional actions to conserve energy.
Turn it off!
If practical, shut off, shut down, sleep mode, or unplug the following:
- Lights
- Computers
- Monitors
- Printers
- Chargers
- Appliances
- Other nonessential equipment
Keep it closed!
Close the following items to protect facility equipment and systems:
- Outside windows and doors in air conditioned areas
- Fume hood sashes when not in use
- Window shades to ensure rooms stay cool
Thanks for your commitment to conserving energy across the university. For temperature-related issues regarding specific rooms and building spaces, immediately contact the F&S Energy Management Control Center at fandsenergycomm@illinois.edu, 217-244-3783.
