Trinity College students are being asked to lower their thermostats to 18℃ and wear extra layers to combat high energy bills.
Students living on campus were sent an email on Wednesday morning, which was seen by Newstalk, requesting that students curb their energy use on campus this winter. Students living in Trinity residences are being asked to keep temperatures at 18℃ in order to cut costs.
The email reads: “Instead of turning up the heating, try wearing additional layers to keep you warm. Every 1 ℃ you turn your thermostat down by saves €250 per year and reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere.”
