<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; color: black;">Higher-than-normal temperature are expected for the
<u>next several days</u> 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. </span></p>
