Help us save money this Christmas: switch off before you leave

Please remember to switch-off all non-essential equipment in your office before you head off on your Christmas break this week. This includes computers, monitors, printers, lights and anything else you know won’t be used.

While the majority of us will be at home enjoying a well-earned break, the University’s buildings will still be consuming more than 1,000,000 kWh of electricity over the festive season.

That’s the equivalent of 1,000 LED lights running continuously for 14 years and it will cost us £110,000.

While some of this is essential equipment, we can all play our part in keeping this figure as low as possible.

Please also ensure that windows are closed tight and chargers are unplugged.
