Earlier in the week we blogged about residence hall heating. We forgot to mention that the maximum setpoint in electronically controlled residence halls is 72-degrees Fahrenheit. If your thermostat won't go up to 72-degrees, then you can submit a work order to Facilities online or by calling (617) 373-2754.
While you do have the ability to set a temperature of 72-degrees, remember that using a lower temperature saves energy. It's especially a good idea to lower the thermostat if you're going to be away for the weekend, or leaving for winter break, or even if you're just going to be at co-op for most of the day. When we help save energy, not only are we helping the environment, but we are also saving our institution money which helps to curb housing cost increases.
