Conservation Competition

The results for the 2009 Conservation Competition are in.  The winners are Whelan Hall for electricity conservation, with 53.13 kWh reduction per student, and Murray Hall for water conservation, saving 28.96 gallons of water per student.   The savings compare each residence hall's water and electricity usage during three months in 2009 (September 1-November 30) to its own usage over the same period in 2008, factoring in the number of students living in each residence hall for both years.

During the fall semester, our residence halls reduced energy consumption by 37,420 kWh.  Based on these savings, the one-year projected savings are outstanding:
