1st Campaign
Do It in the Dark
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
Student group, Green Princeton, organized a campus energy competition, “Do It in the Dark.” The online dashboard, Tiger Energy, collects ongoing baseline energy data based on the projected energy use for the week. The competition lasts for 3 weeks and the winning residential college is the one that saves the most energy relative to the others. Alongside the competition, Green Princeton ran a communications campaign to promote the competition and teach students about how they can save energy.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
By the end of the campaign, the winning residential college used 2.6% less energy, with the second place college saving 2.3%. Overall, the colleges saved 107,999.24 watts, equal to 3,368 miles in a Tesla.
