An emergency alert and mandatory curtailment notice has been issued for Tuesday July 14; Wednesday July 15; Thursday July 16 and Friday July 17 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 from 3:30pm – 7pm each day 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 3:30pm to 7pm 

· Occupied housing buildings are exempt from these setbacks

· Unoccupied offices, classrooms and other areas will have lighting and HVAC turned off from 3:30pm to 7pm 

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.
