Posted on Aug. 21: Power conservation efforts continue

All power conservation efforts at McMaster continue to be a top priority. There is a strong possibility of rotating blackouts today throughout the province. Employees are asked to cut back even more than the last few days wherever possible at home as well as the office. The University's Physical Plant staff are continuing to cap the amount of chilled water that drives the air cooling systems on campus. Combined with continued hot temperatures outside, employees should expect offices and buildings to be warmer today than yesterday. Everyone is encouraged to take breaks from warm work areas, reduce lighting and equipment that draw power and give off heat, and drink lots of water.
