| Energy Conservation Opportunities
(ECO’s) are abundant on the campus of FHSU. However, you
also have opportunities to save money and THINK GREEN in your
own home.
Quick Tip:
One of the easiest ways to save money on your home heating
and cooling bill is to adjust your thermostat at night while
you are sleeping and during the day when you are away. Try
adjusting your thermostat 10 degrees cooler in the winter
and 10 degrees warmer in the summer. Daily adjustments for
an eight-hour period can easily lower your utility bill by
10%. Better yet, buy a programmable thermostat to make the
changes for you. You can program it so the temperature is
comfortable before you get home from work or before you wake
up in the morning. A $50 programmable thermostat will pay
for itself with energy savings in the first year.
