Energy Campaign

We emit approximately 24,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent into the atmosphere every year from our electricity use. To promote the conservation of electricity consumption in the Residence Halls, University Apartments, Academic Buildings, and Support Buildings, we conduct an energy campaign from early September to mid November. During this time, the electricity usage of these buildings is monitored and updated weekly and in real-time on Facilities' Energy page.

Our goal is to achieve a 10% campus-wide reduction in the ten week challenge.
