MEMO To: All apartment residents From: Devonshire Apartment Management Office Date: Nov

ember 30 Subject: DAMO update Dear residents, The winter is around the corner. In an effort to save energy, Devonshire Apartment Management Office(DAMO)has resolved to implement energy-saving measures in our apartment buildings. Over the past three months the DAMO has upgraded electrical wiring systems, replaced traditional lights with energy-efficient lights in the parking garage, and installed solar-screen shades on south-facing windows in every building. The DAMO chief manager James Stevenson reports that these measures have resulted in a 20 percent reduction in our monthly energy use. To help us further reduce the apartments energy consumption, Mr. Stevenson suggests the following guidelines: 1. Set the furnace thermostat at 68 degrees or lower. 3 percent to 5 percent more energy is used for each degree the furnace is set above 68 degrees. 2. Caulk windows, doors and anywhere air leaks in or out. Do not caulk around water heater and furnace exhaust pipes. 3. Clean or replace furnace filters regularly, following manufacturers instructions. 4. Fix defective plumbing or dripping faucets. A single dripping hot water faucet can waste 230 gallons of water a month. That not only increases water bills, but also increases the gas or electric bills for heating the water. Mr. Stevenson will be conferring with every resident over the next two months to explore additional ways of conserving energy. Tenants will be contacted about setting up a time for this meeting.
