Green Tip of the Week

Ever been to building 27 on campus? The math/science building? Then you know the impact of all of us using the automatic doors when we don't need to.

This week's green tip is to not use the automatic doors for people with disabilities unless you have a diability and need the assistance. Most of these doors stay open after you walk through resulting in the loss of warm air or cold air depending on the season. The result is increased energy use/cost. The chillyness of the temperature on the first floor of building 27 shows us that the impact is not minor.

So please don't use these doors unless you need to. Thank you!
