The name of the campaign(s):
A brief description of the campaign(s):
Earlham participated in a nation-wide contest to reduce electricity use in the residence halls on our campus in spring 2013. Over the course of three weeks, dorms Warren, Wilson, Bundy, Mills, Hoerner, Olvey-Andis, and Barrett competed to see which residence hall could reduce its electricity use the most compared to its own previous use. The goal is to save energy across campus, and the residents of the winning residence hall who participate in the competition will all get coupons for free burritos from a local restaurant.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
Over the three week competition, the four dorms saved an estimated 83 kWh of electricity. Hoerner Hall won the competition with a 7.5% reduction in energy use over three weeks of the competition.
