A brief summary of papers, guides, presentations, and other resources the institution has developed to share their sustainability experience with other institutions:
The institution collaborated with Lehigh University in an energy competition. During this energy challenge, Lafayette collected data on the energy used in many residents halls throughout campus, in order to compare this data with Lehigh. There was a baseline collected in the months preceding the competition and the winner was selected based on whichever institution was able to reduce the most from this base line during the time period of the competition. The winner of the competition was announced at that year's Laf/Lehigh football game.
