A brief description of the campaign(s):
The campaign is a competition between dorms to reduce their phantom load. Students were educated on phantom load through outreach programs. Each dorm competed against another dorm that had similar energy consumption levels. At the end of the first round the winning dorms were given smart strips to help them further reduce their energy consumption for the next two rounds. Ultimately there will be one dorm that has the most significant reduction in energy, and that dorm will be the winner.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
After one month of the campaign the dorms reduced their energy consumption by just under 48,000 kilowatt hours. The school saved close to $2,000 which could in turn go towards other sustainable initiatives, and the students are actually getting excited for the rounds to come. After the next round with the installation of the smart strips the energy levels should see an even more significant drop.
