Wasting Energy is Scary!
Our Annual Campus Energy Contest will run from October 31 through November 18. The campus residence hall (or participating Greek house*) that has the greatest energy reduction will win a solar-powered charging picnic table to be installed Spring semester!
An individual building's energy use includes anything from electricity that is used to power the lights or charge electronics, to using the elevator or plugging in a refrigerator. Each building's graph shows the amount of energy that was used daily compared to the same day in the previous week. To track your building's progress, make sure the energy use of the current week is less than the previous week's - there should be a downward trend! If you don't see that, make a more conscious effort to use less electricity and encourage your friends and suitemates to do the same.
Energy contest standings will be released on November 7th and November 14th. The winning building will be announced on November 26th.
