Employees are encouraged to take simple steps to help the university save energy during the winter break.

"Through your direct actions each year, Cornell saves up to $100,000 in electricity and heating energy costs during winter break," said Kyu-Jung Whang, vice president for facilities services. "With renewed commitment on your part this year, I know we can further increase the savings," he said.

Whang said that efforts by members of the Cornell community to save energy over break complement many other cost-saving initiatives under way across campus and the university's overall commitment to sustainability in campus operations.
