UVA Saves Hour is Thursday, June 27

Every year, UVA participates in a test of a state-wide program to reduce electricity consumption during peak demand periods in summer months.  Our goal is to save 5.28 megawatts or energy, the equivalent of 3,915 American households during the one-hour test.

To reach that goal, everyone needs to help!  

Here's how you can participate: 

• Help turn off lighting throughout your building and use natural light instead
• Unplug kitchen appliances for the duration of the test
• Unplug things at your desk like chargers, fans, etc.
• Minimize your computer's energy:
• Undock your laptop from its charging station
• catch up on some non-computer work
• take a HoosWell fit break with your supervisor's permission
