TO:  Shutdown Group, Facility Coordinators

FROM:  Service Response Center

DATE:  September 5, 2023

SUBJECT: Energy Reduction Event Today 9/5

 

We will be participating in a campus wide energy reduction event today, 9/5, from 3pm to 7pm to reduce our electrical demand.  It is expected this will become a mandatory reduction directive from utility companies across our area due to the extreme heat today 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 3pm to 7pm.

· Unoccupied offices, classrooms and other areas will have lighting and HVAC turned off from 3pm 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.  A similar mandate is possible for tomorrow as well.
