SUBJECT: Energy Reduction Events 6/23 – 6/25
The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning from 11am today, Monday, June 23rd through 8pm on Wednesday, June 25th.
We are expecting to participate in a campus wide energy reduction event each day in an effort to reduce energy demand across the grid. This is as a result of the extremely high heat index, high temperatures, and projected spike in the electrical grid demand.
To do our part in reducing the load on the electrical grid, you can expect:
· Occupied offices, classrooms and other areas will be slightly warmer than usual from 2pm to 8pm.
· Unoccupied offices, classrooms and other areas will have lighting and HVAC turned off from 2pm to 8pm.
If there are any sensitive areas with high level functions occurring during this time, please contact fixit@andrew.cmu.edu so that we can ensure those spaces are not affected. We will be referring to 25 live for scheduling.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. As a reminder, this is expected to occur today, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week.
