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. For more information on this initiative, requesting off-hours support and standard facility temperatures go to: http://gsfc-
