Heating & Cooling Tips

• Be certain that windows are shut tightly. Windows that are not completely closed allow cold air into the room.
• Closing window shades can help keep the cold out and the heat inside in the winter.
• Don’t place heat-producing lamps or other appliances near the thermostat as this can fool the thermostat into reducing the heat supplied to the room.
• Shutting off the room lights when the room is not being used will reduce the heat the lights put into the room.
• Be certain that nothing blocks the air into or out of the vents on the heating unit as this prevents the unit from heating the rooms air.
• Classrooms must be scheduled through Swat Central or the Registrar's Office to have heating or cooling.
• If your windows won’t shut properly, call Facilities Management at x8280 to report the problem.
