A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Residence halls entered into a competition to see which hall could consume the lowest amount of energy. All energy usage was measured by total Kilowatt Hour consumption per building as provided by data from Plant Operations.
A goal was set for each complex to reduce its energy consumption during the two time periods by a total of 20%.
During the campaign, interested parties could view the data via the “Belmont Goes Green” web site. Individuals could also monitor the energy consumption for each individual residential facility.
The program has become an annual event known as the “Sustain-a-Bowl.”
