<p class="MsoNormal">Higher-than-normal temperature is expected through the rest of the week for the central New York region. The weather condition is forecasted to require increased cooling and electrical demand. To help mitigate the impact to our institution
we need to look for opportunities for reducing cooling and electrical consumption. This will greatly help our system keep up with the load and keep our critical environments safe and people comfortable.<o:p></o:p></p>
