EXECUTIVE ORDER 2002-10 ARIZONA SMART ENERGY USAGE - PHASE II (Superceding 2001-8) WHEREAS, although Arizona's energy supplies are expected to be adequate in the Summer of 2002, Arizona energy users, including State of Arizona facilities managers and other employees, can and should take reasonable steps to reduce electricity demand and usage, and thereby increase reserve margins; and WHEREAS, because of the current Arizona budget shortfall it is also prudent to reduce the amount of State funds spent on energy; and WHEREAS, because of Arizona's current drought emergency, it is also prudent to reduce energy usage to conserve water otherwise consumed in the production of electricity or used for cooling; and WHEREAS, Executive Order 2001-8, issued May 15, 2001, directed that all agencies and other bodies under my jurisdiction immediately take steps to reduce electricity demand and usage, and thereby increase reserve margins; and WHEREAS, in compliance with that Order, State agencies successfully implemented electricity demand and usage reduction measures; and WHEREAS, maintaining the requirements of Executive Order 2001-8 should continue to reduce State energy usage and expense; and WHEREAS, in compliance with Executive Order 2001-8, State facility managers, in cooperation with the State Energy Office, have prepared and delivered a report to the Governor's Office, entitled "Report to the Governor, Recommended Energy-Saving and Demand-Reduction Measures for Arizona State Facilities" ("Smart Energy Report"), which specifies additional energy-saving and demand-reduction measures for further implementation in State-controlled facilities; and WHEREAS, implementation of the Smart Energy Report's recommendations should further reduce the State of Arizona's energy consumption and costs of energy; and NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jane Dee Hull, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Governor by the Arizona Constitution and the laws of the State, do hereby direct all agencies and other bodies under my jurisdiction to support the efforts of, and to join with the Arizona Department of Administration and the Arizona Department of Commerce's Energy Office to implement the Smart Energy Report, including taking the following actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Each facility's Information Technology department will optimize the use of Energy Star and similar power management tools that allow computers, monitors and other devices to enter stand-by mode when not in use. Employees will turn off lights and office equipment, to the maximum extent practicable, when they expect to be out of the office for more than one hour. Agencies will reduce all lighting that does not affect productivity, health or safety. Thermostats in all State-controlled facilities will be increased during the months of June though September by two degrees or brought within the 76-79 degree range, whichever is greater. To minimize the effect of raising thermostat settings, agencies will implement a professional, casual-dress policy during the months of June through September that is consistent with the type of work that is being performed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Arizona.
