ENERGY CONVERSATION OPERATING PLAN

                                        Texas A&M University-Commerce 

  1.      The hours of air conditioning and heating support on campus will be reduced
         according to published schedules, to include any extended holiday periods or shortened
         workday periods.

 2.      Temperature levels will be set according to the Temperature Control Table as adopted
         through the Performance Contract established with the Energy Management Company.
         The table is as follows:

                                       Temperature Control Table 

                                    Heating                        Cooling                                                                        Setpoint                       Setpoint
                                    Range                          Range

           Occupied             70-72 Degrees F           74-76 Degrees F

           Unoccupied          50 Degrees F               85 Degrees F

           The occupied environmental conditions specified above will be maintained between the
          hours of 6:00 AM till 9:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Environmental conditions will
          be maintained at the unoccupied conditions at all other times, including Sundays, 
          Holidays, Spring Break and inter-session breaks.

3.      During cooling periods, compressors in each building will be cycled during regular
         working hours on a random basis to lower the peak demand.

4,      Staff and Faculty will be requested to turn off unnecessary lights in classrooms and offices
         when unoccupied and at the end of the working day.

 5,      Staff and Faculty will be requested to turn off all individual air units at the end of each day.

 6.      Students will be requested to turn off unnecessary lights, and housing staff will monitor
         general areas of residence halls periodically for unnecessary lighting in occupied spaces.

 7.     Custodial Staff will monitor lighting and turn off lights in unoccupied classrooms and other
        areas (such as hallways) unless this would create a hazard. Supervisory Personnel during
        the evening hours will monitor outdoor lighting on campus as well as the University Police
        Department.

8.     University Police Department will monitor broadly lighted areas at night to eliminate
        wasteful lighting (tennis courts, Intramural fields, etc.)  All lights in such areas will
        be turned off when facilities are not being used.

 9.     Special Events and non-academic activities scheduled in normal conservation periods
        will be limited. If events are deemed appropriate and necessary, attempts must be made
        to schedule them in buildings that will have individual air conditioning/heating support at
        those times.

10.    Building Staff in facilities such as the Library and Recreation Center, which operate after
         hours, will be expected to monitor the buildings to insure that HVAC are operated only
         as needed and that all unnecessary lighting is turned off. The staffs are expected to take
         advantage of zoned heating and cooling areas for functions after regular operating hours.

 11.    One person shall be designated each year in each major building to be responsible for
         conservation of energy efforts (make recommendations on decreased lighting, report leaky
         faucets, other energy saving measures, etc.)

12.    Attempts to turn on large equipment, major lighting and other mechanical must be
        coordinated through the Physical Plant in order to avoid unnecessary Demand
