EMPLOYEE AWARENESS PLAN
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) is committed to ensuring our employees are aware of and actively participate in utility conservation and management measures. We all have a responsibility to conserve resources and minimize costs associated with utility services.
You can help:
- Turn off lights when out of the work area for ten minutes or more.
- Turn off lights and equipment when leaving a conference room.
- Turn off computers, monitors, printers, copiers and other nonessential electrical items when leaving for the day.
- Always turn off and unplug unattended coffee pots and other appliances with heat sources.
- Close window blinds, as necessary, to reduce heat and glare from the sun.
- Do not prop open exterior doors or windows.
- Do not engage in "thermostat wars." It is important that temperatures are maintained. If you tend to run cold, consider wearing a lightweight sweater while working in certain areas.
- Immediately report maintenance items to your respective building contact. In College Station, report to Facilities, Safety and Support Services at 979-317-2100. Urban research offices should report items to their respective building contact. Some items to include are:
- Water leaks.
- Air leaks around doors or windows.
- Lighting problems (flickering or burned-out bulbs).
- Room temperature problems.
- Faulty restroom fixtures (leaks, flushing, etc.).
- Insect problems (they can eat away sheetrock around utility pipes, etc.).
- Any item of concern that affects our facility and your work environment.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this important matter. Everyone has a vital role in resource conservation.
