energy conservation question from CEE assistant professor
Hello,
I have seen a number of emails this summer when it gets really hot about energy conservation.
In Newmark (NCEL), the summer time temperatures are kept to ABSURDLY low temperatures. This is absolutely stressing the electrical grid for no reason.
Graduate students keep winter coats in their offices and sometimes even use space heaters in the summer.
A colleague of mine's student office in NCEL measured a temperature of 58 degrees recently.
Who can we talk to about changing the thermostat? It is ridiculous when it is 100 degrees outside that we are cooling our massive building to such a degree that we need to wear long pants, long sleeves, and coats.
Best,
Hannah
