Shutdown Checklist

Before leaving for a holiday break, please take a few minutes to help reduce our electricity usage with just a few simple actions:

Turn off printers, scanners, and other computer peripherals.
Turn off all computers — desktops and laptops.
Windows: Start → Shut Down; Mac: Apple menu → Shut Down
Turn off any monitors not being used.
Turn off all desk lights, lamps (both floor and desk), and overhead lights.
Turn off and unplug shredders, calculators and other business machines. If you’re expecting faxes over the break, keep your fax machine on.
Turn the thermostat off or down in order to minimize the amount of a/c and heating being put into empty offices.
Unplug unnecessary business equipment and turn off power strips.
