This week is another hot one, and the medical center has been and will continue to be in and out of curtailment throughout the summer.<br \/>\n<P>By using less energy on curtailment days, we:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure continuity of essential systems for critical hospital and research functions;\n<li>Reduce pollution;\n<li>Improve the health of the entire community; and\n<li>Help to save money &#8212; both now (consumption) and for the next 12 months. The next year&#8217;s electrical rate is based on our maximum usage at any given point in time. This is always important, but especially now, as budgets are tight.<\/ul>\n<p>So what simple things can you do to help?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Close shades, blinds and curtains whenever possible to reduce solar heat gain;\n<ul>\n<li>If you are on campus but your neighbors aren&#8217;t, please help by closing their window coverings and turning off any lights or equipment you can.<\/ul>\n<li>Lower lighting levels where possible, turn off lights in unoccupied areas and when leaving a room;\n<li>Turn off and unplug all electrical equipment not in use (computers, coffee makers, printers, chargers, etc.);\n<li>Shut fume hood sashes when not in use;\n<li>Open doors manually instead of using the ADA buttons if possible;\n<li>Take the stairs instead of the elevator; and\n<li>Tell others.<\/ul>\n<p><P>Updated technology has allowed us to control curtailment better. It is possible that spaces will get warmer as the day goes on, but there shouldn&#8217;t be freezing spaces, as colleagues have requested. For a full explanation, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/livegreennebraska.com\/sustainability-resources\/sustainability-at-work\/energy-curtailment\/\">Energy Curtailment page<\/a>.<br \/>\n<P>Spaces are not controlled individually; the system cools larger areas. So while the med center has a temperature range to maintain, it&#8217;s possible your space may not be the exact temperature you want. Only call 2-3347 (Nebraska Medicine) or 9-4050 (UNMC) to report spaces colder than 66 degrees or warmer than 78 degrees.<br \/>\n<P>Patient care and research spaces are not affected by energy curtailment.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"Xl zxadZtgmBaFWBdQ  \"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heat and humidity are still impacting the campus and human health;
