OSU Energy Management
A brief description of the campaign:
In 2017 we celebrated 10 years of energy conservation for the Stillwater campus. Since then we have continued campaigns focused on behavior change initiatives directed at faculty, staff and students. Promotions and reminders are given to turn off lights and electronics when not in use, abide by temperature settings, close windows when heating/cooling, and other individual behavior-based activities. In addition to campus-wide communications, faculty and staff receive notice cards in their office and students are reached via peer-to-peer, student org. presentations and during new student orientation.

Nearly $38 million in energy savings has been realized over the first decade of this campaign.
