Help Ramapo Conserve Energy |
 ENERGY SAVINGS PLAN
You can help Ramapo save energy and cut costs. Please review and consider the suggestions and information in this Web site.
WATT YOU CAN DO!
- Turn off your computer and printer each day before leaving your residence or office.
- Turn off lights when you leave a room or office.
- Use stairs rather than elevators whenever physically able.
- Do not use automatic entry/exit doors unless physically necessary.
- Unplug all televisions, CD players, microwaves, coffee pots and other appliances not in use, especially if away on weekends; simply turning appliances “off” does not stop power use; they should be unplugged.
- Turn off copiers each evening and on weekends.
- Take home any personal unauthorized space heaters; they are not permitted.
- In residences, shorten showers.
- Close blinds after sunset to keep in heat.
- Be prepared for cooler temperatures in campus facilities—dress appropriately.
WATT THE COLLEGE IS DOING
- Moving to a flex week during week of January 8 and over spring break.
- Lowering thermostats approximately two degrees, maintaining reasonable comfort levels.
- Turning off “appearance lighting” in the Berrie lobby and Bradley Center.
- Lowering thermostats in all closed facilities during the holiday break and on extended weekends.
- Communicating energy savings tips to the campus.
- Using technology to conserve energy whenever possible.
