SUBJECT: Close Windows and Check Spaces
Over the next 48 hours, we will experience record cold temperatures. Please help us protect your spaces with the following three simple actions:
1. Check your department’s occupied and unoccupied areas.
2. Close and lock windows.
3. Turn thermostats ON and check for heat.
Please pay attention to cold spots in your buildings – occupants with offices on exterior walls should leave their door open for the next 36 hours and doors to stairwells also be left open to allow warm air to circulate.
Over the past week, we’ve had 4 floods from broken pipes due to open windows and doors. If you find something that might be an issue, please call Service Response at 8-2910.
If you have any questions, contact Kyle Tomer, 8-6332 or e-mail kt2n@andrew.cmu.edu.
