A brief description of the campaign(s):
Green Campus Program: In partnership with campus staff, Green Campus interns at Cal Poly Pomona conducted numerous interior and exterior lighting audits as well as energy reduction competitions in the residence halls.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
Using the findings of these audits, interns successfully lobbied for a series of retrofits and operations changes that are saving the campus close to $100,000 per year in energy costs. For example, after analyzing light levels and hours of operation in the campus’s new 750,000 square foot parking garage, interns convinced staff in Parking and Transportation to remove unnecessary lamps and greatly reduce lighting levels during nighttime, weekend, and holiday hours. In addition to their work on campus lighting, interns also created an educational video documenting energy and water conservation best practices, and held multiple energy conservation competitions in student housing.
