Building Energy Management Program Guidelines

  • Building occupants who have issues with temperature should call the Facilities Management Energy Manager at 574-6248 or 574-6357.  The energy manager or campus/site designee will investigate the temperature complaint to determine if the temperature is outside the set seasonal temperature range.  Should the investigation reveal the temperature is outside the set seasonal temperature range, HVAC system adjustments will be made.  
  • The Facilities Management Energy Manager will coordinate building/room temperature requirements that fall outside the set temperature ranges (i.e. special labs and food prep areas).
  • Requests for deviations or exceptions to this procedure must be made to the Director of Facilities Management.
