As a reminder, here is a checklist that will help in the university’s savings effort over winter break, December 24-January 1:
- Shut down all computers, printers, and other accessories. If possible, plug computers and printers into a power strip and then shut off the power strip.
- Leave your office computer on if you need remote access from home, but turn off the monitor, printer, speakers and any other connected devices. A computer’s sleep mode uses less energy than full power, but shutting it off completely protects data. A machine may be left on during break if it’s providing access to a critical application.
- Turn off and unplug copiers and small appliances, such as coffee pots and microwaves.
- Unplug chargers for electronic devices.
- If you can manually adjust the thermostat in your office, turn it down to 65 degrees.
