Conserve On Campus

In November 2005, Governor Doyle issued Executive Order 132 directing state agencies to take immediate steps to reduce energy consumption at state facilities.

Campus reminded to save energy
The Office of Facilities Planning and Management reminds campus users of these energy-saving measures:

• Shut off your equipment at the end of the day, i.e. copiers, printers, personal computers, and personal task lighting.

• Eliminate the use of incandescent and halogen table/floor lamps. Compact fluorescent lamps are available in many sizes to fit most table lamps.
  Special note: All touchier lamps are a severe fire hazard and should not be used on campus.

• Turn off excess lighting when not in use.

• Campus room temperatures will be set to 68 degrees in the winter and 76 degrees in the summer. Requests for any temperature adjustments will be determined on an individual basis.

Through this Web site, we hope to encourage you to conserve on campus by providing:

• Web sites with practical conservation suggestions

• Introduction to faculty experts on conservation

• Conservation Efforts in the News

• "Conserve-a-Tip"

• Facilities Management conservation updates

• A forum for campus members to showcase their individual or office conservation efforts
