[Tang-Residents] Heat in Tang Hall

[Michael J Collins]

Hello

I have already received a couple of email regarding the heat in Tang. This time of year is the transition time where we can have a warm day or days and cool to cold evenings which would require heat. The system is running off outside air temperatures which means when the temps drop below 55 degrees it will turn on via auto mode. I do monitor the 10 day forecast and stay in communication  with facilities who control the system and on warm days request the heat to be adjusted accordingly however this is not an instant temperature control as the heat will rise and the buildings take some time to cool down. Please feel free to open your window to allow the air to flow even though this may seem like a waste of energy.

  I will continue to work with Facilities until the heating system is turned off for the season. The official shut down date for the heat is May 15th  but will continue to monitor the 10 day forecast and request to make the necessary adjustments.

Thanks for your patience as we enter the spring, summer season.
