Powerful Habits are tips to remind Californians
that conservation counts!!
|
|
For the Home: |
| 1. |
Set your thermostat at 78-80 degrees when home, 85 degrees or off when away. |
| 2. |
Keep the refrigerator full (with bottles of water if nothing else) and unplug that second unit. |
| 3. |
Switch off the lights when you leave a room. |
| 4. |
Avoid using appliances during peak hours of late afternoon and evening, 4-7 p.m. being most critical. |
| 5. |
Reset your pool pump to run during off peak hours. |
| |
|
| For the Office: |
| 1. |
Turn off the computer monitor when you're away from your desk (it's the biggest power drain of your computer system). |
| 2. |
Turn off the lights and computers in empty offices. |
| 3. |
Switch off the coffee maker at 10 a.m., leave a full pot and reheat individual mugs in the microwave. |
| 4. |
Leave half of the room's overhead lighting off -- it's a double savings, less light also means less heat so your air conditioner gets a break. |
| 5. |
Check with your facilities manager that office thermostats are set at 78-80 degrees during the day, 85 degrees or off evenings and weekends. |
