A brief description of the campaign(s):
The unPLUg campaign is a competition between residence halls geared toward reducing their energy usage. Throughout the campaign students receive education about phantom load and how to reduce energy usage. Each hall competes against a hall with a similar energy consumption level. At the end of the first round the winning halls are given smart strips to help them further reduce their energy consumption for the next two rounds. Ultimately, the hall that has the most significant reduction in energy wins the competition and receives a prize.
