Fall is here! In Oregon, that means we may experience drastically different weather over the course of a week.

Please help conserve energy and maintain comfortable living spaces by following these guidelines. More hall-specific details will be emailed soon:

If your room is too hot:

  • Make certain your heater is OFF and/or heater vents are closed
  • Close windows and shades or blinds during the heat of the day and direct sun
  • Open windows and shades in the evening to cool down

If your room is too cold:

  • Close all windows
  • Open heater vents or turn thermostat to desired temperature

Turning the thermostat to a higher temperature DOES NOT heat the room faster. Please set the thermostat to a comfortable temperature and let the system balance itself.

If you have any further questions, please email housing@georgefox.edu.
