An emergency alert and mandatory curtailment notice has been issued for today, July 28 and tomorrow, July 29 due to the high heat index, high temperatures, and projected spike in the electrical grid demand.   As such, we will be conducting campus-wide energy reduction actions on both Monday, July 28th and Tuesday, July 29th from 2pm to 8pm, in an effort to reduce energy demand across the grid.

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 

· Occupied housing buildings are exempt from these setbacks

· 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 and tomorrow.
