Did you know that during this year’s winter curtailment we anticipate energy savings to save over $100,000? Help us do more!
Heating and ventilation will be curtailed on the Berkeley campus during the period from the end of the business day Friday, December 22, 2017 through Monday, January 1, 2018. Given that normal electric service is maintained at all times, it is essential to turn off and unplug appliances before leaving. The last person present in a given office, residence, or building is encouraged to follow this checklist below to ensure we waste as little electricity as possible.
Curtailment Checklist:
Turn-off
- Monitors, printers, copy machines.
- Coffee pots, microwaves, toaster ovens, and other small appliances.
- Non-essential equipment and powerstrips
Switch-off Lights
- Office
- Hallway
- Conference Room

Make sure close windows and hand-operated radiators valves (if you have them)
