High Demand Alert - Electricity Usage for 7/25

Georgia Power has issued an Alert for today, 7/25, as higher temperatures result in peak electricity demand that will significantly impact pricing. Judging from forecasted temperatures, we expect this status to persist throughout the week.   

The campus community is asked to consider shutting down non-essential lighting and unplugging non-essential equipment during these peak hours. If you have access to windows, use the natural light. When not using natural light, close window blinds. Turn lights off when you leave your office. Keep temperature setpoints at 75 degrees F.   

The Office of Sustainability and the Department of Facilities Management thanks everyone for your cooperation and understanding.
