Room Temperature Set Point Policy

ROOM TEMPERATURE SET-POINT POLICY

In most instances temperature management of indoor environments is governed by central controls monitored by Facilities. 

Winter Season:
The targeted temperature for most work spaces is 70˚F.  Due to building characteristics and control limitations, actual temperatures will vary.  Wherever feasible, night time and weekend temperatures will be reduced to approximately 62˚F. 

Electric heaters to supplement central heating are allowed only with the authorization of Facilities.  These devices can be dangerously misused and will be allowed only under controlled circumstances.

Summer Season:
The targeted temperature will be 75˚F (except in auditoriums, classrooms, and other areas where large numbers of people may assemble, where the pre-event target will be 72˚F).
