Does the institution hold a campaign that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

The name of the campaign(s):
Watts Your Bergtricity

A brief description of the campaign(s):
At the end of the year last year, we had a competition between the dorms for two weeks, to see if the dorms could change their energy use as part of the competition. This was a very successful competition in that a lot of people realized how easy it was to cut down on their energy use and help the environment. During this period, we also had other programs that were geared to educate everyone so that they can actually participate in the competition.

A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
Through “Watts Your Bergtricity?” students learned about electricity use and energy consumption. Students were able to learn about ways to cut back their electricity use and energy impact. The drop in usage shows a direct correlation to a change in lifestyle to cut down on their energy demand.
