A brief description of the campaign(s):
POWERless is a residential energy reduction competition which started in the spring of 2008 and has taken place at least once a year since then. All primary residential buildings on campus participate in the competition, which has ranged from 2 weeks to 7 weeks in length. Students compete to reduce the electricity use in their building, based on baseline power consumption. The winner is the building with the largest percentage energy reduction over the course of the competition. There is also a competition between residential areas to see which can reduce its consumption the most. There is a prize for the building occupants in each division (based on occupancy) with the greatest reduction, and the area in each division with the greatest reduction has its name added to the POWERless trophy, which resides in the Moseley Center.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
There has been an overall electricity reduction each time the competition has been held, which has ranged from 6% to 20%, compared to baseline consumption.
