As such, employees are reminded to take steps to keep the load off the campus cooling system.

To help ease the load, employees can:

  • Close shades, blinds and curtains whenever possible to reduce solar heat gain;
  • Lower lighting levels where possible and turn off lights in unoccupied areas; and
