Have a cracking Easter!

24 Mar 2016

And remember to give your appliances a break too

Easter eggs

Please switch off your appliances before you leave for the Easter break.

During the 2015 Easter break, the University monitored ten buildings that had turned off all non-essential appliances. From that it was calculated that the University could save as much as £650,000 over the whole year, if colleagues switched off during breaks, evenings and weekends.

So make sure you log off your managed desktop PCs, switch off any lights and non-essential appliances, including equipment such as water baths and drying ovens.

And also remember to close windows and doors when you’re doing a final check!
