CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SAN BERNARDINO
ADDENDUM TO INTERIM ENERGY POLICY
Recommendations to Control Utility Expense
for Summer 2001
RECOMMENDED BY ADMINISTRATIVE
COUNCIL: June 4, 2001
APPROVED BY PRESIDENT KARNIG:
June 8, 2001
FOR INTERPRETATION OF THIS POLICY, PLEASE CONTACT:
Facilities Services (for issues related to
HVAC) -- 909/880-5166
Events Scheduling (for issues related to
facility fees or events) -- 909/880-5236
No scheduler will be authorized to waive
the fees or schedule an event outside of the summer operating hours without recovering the
University's direct costs, including the cost of utilities. Schedulers will forward
new requests to the Event Scheduling Office where it will be verified that utility costs
are being charged to the user. Requests to waive or reduce the utility expenses may
be sent to the Facilities Use Committee, which will forward its recommendation to the Vice
President for Administration and Finance.
No air conditioning will be
turned on by HAC unless Academic Scheduling or Event Scheduling has approved the
event and placed it on the HVAC operating schedule. Management employees are
authorized to request HVAC services from the Central Plant. The Plant Operator will
provide the service. If the event was not previously scheduled, the management
employee will accept responsibility for the utility charges. Event Scheduling will
assist in facilitating the location of events to more cost effective/energy efficient
areas of campus.
Administrative summer operating hours are
7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Library operating hours are from
7:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Teaching facilities will follow the
academic schedule which is 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with limited
facilities air conditioned on Friday and Saturday.
Whenever possible, all events should be
scheduled in Jack Brown and University Hall in rooms that utilize the least amount of air
handlers for cooling. Event Scheduling can assist with locations to maximize
efficiency of cooling.
The Arena should operate by natural light
during daylight hours and air conditioning will be kept to a minimum. Air
conditioning will be turned on only when the temperature exceeds 78 degrees and the
activity requires air conditioning.
Special events on campus should pay full
utility charges unless the Facility Use Committee recommends waiving the fee. (Refer
to Section III, Buildings and Grounds Use Policy, which outlines groups authorized to use
campus buildings and grounds, as well as other categories of facility users.)
Due to the specifications for exhibits in
the Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum, the energy policy will not apply to the Museum.
The Director of Facilities Services will be
responsible for recovering utility charges for all events that are required to pay fees
and placement into the utility general fund account.
All scheduled events will be sent to the
Event Scheduling office to ensure that Facilities Use Requests are met.
