Windows Policy

Brandeis discourages leaving windows open during the winter to cool spaces, or in the summer to warm spaces. Windows and outside doors should not be propped open if a space is air-conditioned.

Occupants should ensure that windows, storm windows, shades and blinds are positioned for the season. Shades and blinds should be positioned to assist in providing thermal comfort.

Windows should be closed when leaving spaces for multiple days, such as weekends and holidays.
