Energy Conservation Measures for the Holiday Period

To the University Community,

In an effort to reduce unnecessary expenses, the following energy conservation measures will take effect starting Monday, December 26, 2016, until Friday, January 6, 2017 inclusively:

a) All ventilation systems that are not absolutely essential will be turned off, except:

-      In the Hall Building where the ventilation systems will operate as per the normal weekend schedule, except for December 25 and January 1, when they will remain OFF both days;

-      EV, JMSB, Perform, Genomics, these building being self-responsive in terms of energy savings, they will automatically adapt to client occupation.   

-      In the GM, the FB and in some rental properties where other continued normal commercial operations dictate less restrictive energy conservation measures;

b) Temperatures will be set back, except in the SP Building because laboratory experiments would be adversely affected;

c) All unnecessary lighting will be turned off.

Please note that the Residences in the GN, JR, HA, HB & HC buildings will not be affected by the energy conservation measures.

Before leaving for the long Holiday, please make sure to turn off all unnecessary equipment in your office, shop or laboratory: computers and their peripherals, photocopiers, laboratory apparatus, etc., as well as the lights before closing the door.

Thank you for your cooperation, and Happy Holidays!
