Facilities Planning and Management notice re: Air conditioning, windows, energy

University chillers are operational and programmed to run any time the outside air temperature reaches 67 degrees Fahrenheit. When the air conditioning is operating, indoor temperatures are set to cool to 76 degrees (state policy).

For those buildings that have operable windows, please keep them shut always. For the few who are next to an operable window, it is an enviable luxury to be able to open and shut it to meet one's personal comfort. Doing so, however, comes at the expense of everyone else in the building who is not next to a window. Our heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems are not perfect; however, the systems will be rendered less effective if windows are opened when the building's ventilating system is operating. If a window is open, air flows do not work as designed and others get less heated and air conditioned air.
