TU Dublin is Switching Off for Easter 2026
Cuir tús maith le saoire na Cásca le soilsí, riomhairi agus trealamh oifige a mhúchadh roimh dhul ar saoire duit.
Make a cracking good start to Easter by switching off all non-essential equipment before you head off.
As the first half of Semester 2 of the 2025/2026 academic year draws to a close, Technological University Dublin is actioning energy conserving efforts in advance of closing for the Easter break.
As part of the ‘TU Dublin is Switching Off’ campaign, TU Dublin is calling on all students and staff to switch off all appropriate campus equipment and energy consuming resources during this time. This important call-to-action is a response to ease pressure on the national grid and support the ‘Reduce Your Use’ government policy for reducing energy consumption. We also encourage the TU Dublin community of students and staff to take the opportunity to ‘switch off’ screens and digital devices and to mind our mental and physical health during the Easter break.
Please take the time to actively switch off any device or piece of equipment which does not need to be kept running. These actions should include:
- Fully switching off all computer devices and screens,
- Fully switching off all office equipment such as printers, chargers, speakers, etc.,
- Clearing out and *switching off cold storage appliances in shared kitchens,
- Staff who use laboratory cold storage are asked to consider what can be switched off or consolidated.
*Be mindful for the potential for some freezers to defrost and leak. Read more tips on cleaning out and turning off cold storage appliances.
