Holiday Heat Reduction Program
Over the holiday break, as stated in Penn State's Energy Conservation Policy, temperatures in many University facilities will be reduced to conserve energy, reduce emissions, and generate savings for the University. Faculty and staff may use buildings during the holiday break, but indoor temperatures can be expected to be at 50°F and ventilation systems will be off beginning at 5 p.m. Dec. 21 through the morning of Dec. 31. Dec. 31 is not included in the holiday break and normal occupied indoor temperatures of 70°F can be expected. Jan. 1, 2020, also is a University holiday with expected indoor temperatures of 60°F.
