MSU announces campus holiday energy conservation plan聽
花秀直播 State University will implement its holiday energy conservation plan at the end of聽the workday today [Dec. 19].
The Christmas break affords us the opportunity to reduce energy consumption聽and realize significant savings on operating expenditures. Efforts over聽the years to turn off unused equipment and lighting are absolutely critical to a聽successful holiday shutdown. Please join with us in reducing energy use during this time.
For those that come into work at times during the break, please聽turn off聽computers, lights, radios and any other energy-consuming devices when you聽leave. If you have trouble locating any switches, contact Facilities Management聽at 662-325-2005.
Remember to聽check devices and equipment in out-of-the-way places聽and common areas, which may include classrooms, restrooms, storage closets,聽lobbies and lounges.
Building managers and building operators should聽ensure聽that all interior and exterior lights are turned off.
Additionally, all聽responsible parties should聽be aware of exposed piping that could be subject to聽freezing聽during the shut-back period.聽 Please notify your building manager or聽building operator if you see any area that needs to be protected. Contact聽Facilities Management at 325-2005 with any building issues if discovered and聽perceived urgent.聽聽
Heating and cooling settings聽for holiday breaks should be addressed by the聽appropriate facility personnel. Some buildings are centrally controlled by聽Facilities Management, which will implement the appropriate temperature聽setbacks. In the remaining areas, the building operator should set the聽thermostat to the minimum setting, making sure that the system is not in cooling聽mode.聽

Charles Lee Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building, Allen Hall,聽Animal and Dairy Sciences, Ballew Hall, Kent Sills Band Hall, Bost Extension Center, Bowen Hall, Hand Chemical Lab, Herzer Dairy Science Building,聽Herzer Sales Store and Processing, Briscoe Hall, CAVS, Chapel of Memories, Carpenter Hall,聽Center for America's Veterans, Clay Lyle Entomology Complex, Dorman Hall, Etheredge Hall, University Florist, Forest聽Products Building 1, Freeman Hall, Fresh Food Co. dining facility, Garner Hall, Giles Hall, Harned Hall and Harned Annex, George Hall, Hilbun Hall, Howell Building, Hill (former poultry science building), Hunter聽Henry Center, Industrial Education Building, ICET, Landscape Architecture Facility, Lee Hall, Lloyd-Ricks-Watson Building,聽McCarthy Gym, McComas Hall, McArthur Hall, McCain Engineering Building, McCool Hall, Magruder Hall, Meat Science Laboratory,聽Memorial Hall, Mitchell Memorial Library, Middleton Hall, Montgomery Hall, Moore Hall, Music Facility, Old Main聽Academic Center, Pace Seed Technology Building, Patterson Engineering Building, Perry Cafeteria, Poultry Science Building, Raspet聽Buildings 1 and 2, Richard A.

If聽you have questions or concerns about the temperature setbacks in your building,聽please contact Facilities Management at 325-2005.聽 As these building setpoints聽are centrally managed by Facilities Management, no individual actions should be聽taken with regard to temperature settings.
Note that聽all athletics facility setbacks will be coordinated by Athletics聽personnel, and聽all student housing setbacks will be coordinated by Housing聽personnel. In all other buildings, building operators should set the thermostat聽to the minimum setting, making sure that the system is not in cooling mode.
