ENERGY ALERT
January 2001 Please distribute immediately.
Natural gas, the main fuel for MIT heat and electricity, is 3 TIMES more
expensive this month than last year's average. Please help save energy and
money in your work area:
* Close fume hood sashes whenever possible to minimize heated air flow
into the hood and out the roof.
* Return your room thermostat to auto if you've had it in manual
over-ride
during late night work.
* Shut off lights, computers and other equipment when you leave.
* Use revolving doors to reduce warm air loss from lobby entrances.
* Call Carl at ENCON (3-6266) or utilities@mit.edu with your
suggestions to save energy, or call FIXIT (3-4948) and select emergency
option if you see a potential for freeze-up like an open window or door.
