Bowdoin vs. Colby Energy Dorm Compeition 2015;
In 2015, Bowdoin and Colby teammed up to create the first annual Bowdoin v. Colby Energy Dorm Competition. This competition focuses on decreasing energy use in residence halls on campus and directly competing with our rival, the Colby Mules. This competition tracks the energy use of 21 Bowdoin dorms and 21 Colby dorms to see which school is able to reduce their energy consumption the most over the 3 week competition period. The two schools combined to save a total of 22,536 kWh during the competition and Colby reduced consumption 7% below their baseline data and Bowdoin 8.7% below their baseline data.
