Your Apartment

Cooling your Apartment: Your apartment has been set to cool down to 72°F.

When the cooling season is over, all air conditioners in the community will be turned off. Before attempting to cool your apartment temperature, first ensure you have made other efforts to keep cool.

Consider the following:

• Make sure your windows are shut.

• Close your bathroom and kitchen vents to help cool the rest of the apartment.

• Remove extra layers of clothing.

• Wear light colors.

• Close your blinds.

Once you have considered the above, adjust your apartment thermostat. To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Adjust apartment vents to meet your needs. Close the kitchen and bathroom vents to ensure the most consistent temperature apartment wide.

2. Ensure the fan is set to AUTO (See Image 1). If you set the fan to ON this will continually pull in the outside air and will result in a warmer and more humid environment in your apartment.

3. Ensure the system is set to COOL (See Image 1). If the system display reads HEAT, push the button below the display until it says COOL.

4. Adjust the temperature do your desired level by pushing the arrows on the right side of the thermostat (See Image 1). The up arrow will raise the temperature and the down arrow will lower the temperature. The lowest temperature to which you are able to set your apartment is 72°F.

The thermostat is controlled to limit heating and cooling. To discuss concerns related to the heating or cooling in your apartment, contact the Stadium Heights Hall Director. Tampering with the thermostat, or removal thereof, is not acceptable and is subject to adjudication in the student conduct process.
