Dear all,
I'm not sure if it's *only* the lights, but I also notice *a lot *of
excessive use of lights in the building. I.e. 1) lights being left on when
no one is around (such as in the basement or bathrooms, etc.) and 2) I
notice a lot of individuals occupying huge rooms with *all of the lights on*.
I understand the desire for solitude and obviously the Omni is large enough
to find that and it's totally fine. But could these individuals take the
initiative to be conscious of their use of electricity? I.e. if you're in
the basement alone with all of the lights on, can you use a lamp or other
source of light? Can you move to a smaller space that only has one or two
lights?
Related, I wonder if we could install timed/sensor lights in common spaces?
love

Hey y'all.
You may or may not be aware but since we have moved in, our monthly PG&E
bill has gone from $481 to close to $900. I'm guessing it's just going to
continue to climb.
I realize that we're using a lot more electricity than when John and Mary
were living there but I want us to please be mindful of the expense!!
Does anyone have thoughts as to what could be contributing to such an
increase? Is it simply having more lights on, more often?
Also - please turn off lights when you are not using them. I often see
lights left on around the building and it would be great if we could all
get in the habit on turning lights off when we leave a room!
