Based around the college's Building Dashboard energy consumption tracking program, the Dorm Energy Conservation Competition is a month long competition normally held in October or November every year.

Bowdoin's Recycle"Maine"ia is a four week long recycling competition among Bowdoin's dorms, and in some years we also compete against our Maine peers, Bates and/or Colby College. The competition is an opportunity promote recycling and waste reduction on campus. The competition is measured in per capita pounds of recycled material.
