Equipment and Individual Responsibilities

One way of going green is all Texas State equipment purchases need to be Energy Star-rated, meaning that all new equipment purchased has to be energy-efficient.
In addition all areas controlled by Texas State’s energy management system have their indoor temperatures set at 68°-70°F during times when it’s cold outside and at 74°-76°F during the times when it’s hot. Also, as seen on signs near the light switch in classrooms, people are meant to turn off lights when exiting rooms that are no longer being used. Faculty members are also responsible for turning off equipment in their office at the end of the day.
