SUBJECT: Reduce Electric Power Demand Today 2PM – 3PM

Our campus has been requested to participate in a mandatory one-hour power reduction starting at 2:00PM today, 7/18.  During this time, FMS personnel will be turning off air conditioning systems in unoccupied spaces and will allow temperatures to vary more widely than usual in non-critical occupied spaces.  We ask for your cooperation in this effort by doing the following:

þ  Turn off lights that are not necessary

þ  Turn off all non-essential electrical equipment

þ  Notify FMS if you have non-registrar and large spaces that will be unoccupied during this timeframe

Please see the attached document for more information on demand response and why your participation is important.

Thank you for your help in making this happen.  If you have any questions, contact the Service Response Center at X2910 or fixit@andrew.cmu.edu.
