Be Energy Efficient
During Winter Months
David McGraw
Chief Operating Officer
The shorter daylight hours and colder weather can be challenging to both human comfort and energy efficiency. As staff members of Berkeley Lab, we are all aware of the large and global effects of energy utilization. At Berkeley Lab, we have set our thermostats to 68°F — consistent with our energy efficiency goals and Federal requirements.
You may have noticed that some of our building heating systems do not maintain a temperature of 68°. If your area is colder than that, contact the Facilities Work Request Center (x6274) so that they can adjust your building system accordingly. The alternative of using a personal space heater is problematic. The heater is usually energy inefficient and makes it difficult to balance temperature across the building, sometimes resulting in lower ambient temperatures in neighboring offices.
If you find 68°F to be uncomfortable for you, please consider dressing in warmer clothing. And please do not use a portable heater to raise the temperature above 68°F.
Thank you.

Hand Washing Week Continues Through Friday
The Lab’s Health Care Facilitator’s office wants to remind employees that this week is “National Hand Washing Awareness Week.” Washing hands, when done properly, is one of the best ways to avoid getting ill. It prevents germs — contracted from such sources as people, foods, and animals — from entering the body via eyes, nose or mouth. Wash hands with warm, running water and soap, rub vigorously for at least 20 seconds, rinse well, and dry with a disposable towel.

Online Courses for Staff
On Business, IT Topics
The Berkeley Lab Institute (BLI) is offering online learning opportunities through SkillSoft. SkillSoft features hundreds of courses, simulations and performance support tools on a variety of business, management and IT topics, including communication, project management, strategic planning, and desktop software. SkillSoft can be accessed by both MAC and PC users at work, home, and on the road. Only a limited number of licenses are available, so access is on a first-come, first-served basis. Cost is $75 per employee for access until Sept. 30, 2008. To view the SkillSoft catalog of courses, click here. For more information and to subscribe, contact Karen Paris (x5122).
Coffee Bar Closes Early,
Holiday Gifts for Sale
To accommodate an event taking place in the cafeteria dining hall, the Lab’s coffee bar will close at 2:30 today. And for those in search of a unique gift, the cafeteria has several items for sale, including See’s chocolates and other candies, Peet’s Holiday Coffee and Chai Tea Blends, as well as shirts and caps with the Lab logo.
'Today Show' Program
With Chu Postponed
The feature story on science education that includes Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu, scheduled to air last Friday on the "Today Show" on NBC, was a last-minute scratch from the schedule, according to the show's producer. No date has been set for the new broadcast, but Today at Berkeley Lab will announce it when scheduled.

Security Awareness Program Launches
The Environment, Health and Safety Division's Security and Emergency Operations Group is launching the “Security & You” awareness program to help the Lab community learn about security tips that can have a bearing on Lab work. The first series of slides provides information for Lab employees who invite foreign guests to the Lab for work assignments. To learn more, go here and scroll down to “Security.”
