Policies
Temperature Policy
WMU has established a temperature policy for all buildings to control energy usage and cost. This policy contains an acceptable range for room temperature during both the heating and cooling seasons. In 2001, WMU developed the Temperature Set-Point Policy for all campus buildings. Sensors in the buildings allow for room temperatures to drop or rise two degrees depending on the season when rooms are not being occupied to save some energy. On nights, weekends and holidays the set-point temperatures decrease even more to conserve energy further.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp Policy
WMU’s efforts to reduce energy consumption include conversion from incandescent to compact fluorescent lamps whenever possible. All spent bulbs are recycled.
Energy Star Purchasing Policy
Since October 2000, WMU has required that new energy consuming products be Energy Star compliant whenever necessary.
