Auditing the Tuttleman Computer Lab/ Breakout rooms.

The Tuttleman computer lab/breakout rooms have been the home base for our group for the entire program. We decided to audit this building for a few reasons, those reasons being, there are alot of computers and printers, and the building is freezing cold.

The computers are sectioned into groups of four, and each section has its own power strip. They all have their own power strip so students can plug in phone chargers and other things of that nature. The plugs are always on reguardless of weather students are using them are not. Also, there is a row of macs on the side of the lab that all have their own individual power strips that are always on reguardless of use. We think that if these were turned on and off on the basis of use it could potentially save alot of energy.

Also, the building is freezing cold at all times. The buildings temperature should be adjusted on the amount of people that are in it. It is ridiculas how cold the buidling is. We have to wear sweat shirts in the middle of July through August.

We feel with these few adjustments just this building alone could save Temple University alot of money and energy.
