- Check that windows are closed and locked tight to make sure energy is not lost through cracks or small openings.
- Shut doors and where possible, use under-the-door draft stoppers to contain the heat to the room.
- Open window shades to allow sunlight in and naturally warm up classrooms. For those rooms that receive ample sunlight, check with maintenance staff to see if the heat can be turned to a lower temperature.
- Work with Maintenance staff to only turn the heat on in the rooms used most often. It’s not wise to heat multiple areas if you are only using one, so any spare classrooms or assembly halls used infrequently could remain unheated (depending on your climate or building temperature controls).
