H-E-L-P Save Energy: Shut Down Before You Leave

• close the Hoods
  • close any fume hoods
  • shut down any other lab equipment that can be turned off (if in doubt--ask!)

• shut down your Electronics
• your printer (shutting down your computer doesn't turn off your printer)
• your monitor (if you see a green or yellow light, it's still drawing power)
• your speakers, scanner, and other peripherals
• your CPU (log off and shut down if you are allowed to) except on Wednesday nights
• adding machines, radios, televisions...
• turn off the Lights
• your task lights
• overhead lights if not on motion detectors or timers
• lights in copy rooms, conference rooms, labs...
• block out the Photons: close your blinds, shutters, or drapes
• in the summer, it keeps the building cooler
• in the winter, it keeps the building warmer
• either way, it saves a great deal of energy (and money) and
• it will be more comfortable when you return to work after the weekend!

Remember the acronym: H-E-L-P and help save energy this summer!
