...support of the University’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, FAS continues to pursue a variety of money-saving energy conservation strategies: temperature set-point changes, motion-sensing light switches, light bulb change-outs, and solar panel installations, among others. By lowering the winter heating set-point to 68° and raising the summer cooling set-point to 75°, the FAS will reduce its multimillion-dollar heating and cooling budget by an estimated 3 percent annually. This change has the added benefit of reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide...
