Energy
Savings Program
As part of the
Center's Energy Savings Program, the Facilities Management Division
developed an initiative to schedule climate control systems. Heating,
ventilation and air conditioning units are cycled down during off-hours.
The initiative saves money with minimum impact to occupant comfort,
programs or equipment. It has been successful since commencing in
several buildings in 1998. The current budget situation calls for
expanding the initiative to more buildings as identified by management
representatives of affected buildings.
Standard office
temperatures will be maintained between 70-78 °F during regular
working hours. During off-hours hours, office temperatures will
range between 55-85 °F. A procedure is established for requesting
exceptions for specific time periods. The Facilities Management
Division looks forward to continued success with the initiative.
