All heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment is controlled and maintained by the engineering staff of Facility Operations. It is Facility Operations policy to maintain a summer operating temperature between 72 and 74 degrees, and a winter operating temperature between 68 and 72 degrees. Facility Operations engineers will adjust HVAC equipment as needed to maintain space temperatures within that range.
If your particular work area or department seems to be uncomfortably cool or warm, please contact your respective campus Facility Operations office. Engineers will be dispatched to review and correct the situation. In certain cases, buildings are controlled by building automation systems. In these instances, adjustments may occur without an engineer being dispatched to the site.

After hours (4:30pm) complaints? Please contact your respective Public Safety Office.

Please Note: Faculty and staff working during building 'off-hours'(see Building Access/Building Hours) are advised that the temperature may fall below or rise above the 68-74 degree range, and engineering staff will not make adjustments to HVAC systems in these instances.

During the Christmas holiday shutdown building temperatures are maintained at a level that provides minimum building protection only. If you require access to a building during that timeframe, please dress warmly.
