The heating in the buildings on the Meyrin and Prévessin sites is generally turned on from 1 October to 15 May, depending on the weather.
Exceptionally this year, in the light of the current energy crisis, it has been decided to turn on the heating later than usual, and not before 10 October. The optimal start date will be determined based on the weather forecast and, more importantly, on the night-time temperatures.
We encourage everybody on site to refrain from switching on individual electric heaters, which would defeat the purpose of this exceptional measure, namely saving energy at CERN.
Promoting an environmentally responsible work culture, especially with regard to energy management, is a priority for CERN. We are endeavouring to strike the best possible balance between saving resources and ensuring optimal working conditions for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation.
