A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
In ‘13/’14, Students United for a Responsible Global Environment (SURGE) organized a campus energy competition, “Do It in the Dark.” The Engineering Department collected baseline energy data for a week before the start of the competition; the competition was not announced during the data gathering process. The competition lasted for a month and was judged by which of the six residential colleges saved the most energy relative to the others. Alongside the competition, SURGE 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 (1st campaign):
By Earth Day, the top three residential colleges saved 11,876 kWh, or enough energy to power 312,538 laptops or 494 Nissan Leaf Electric Cars.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In 2014, the Office of Sustainability launched a pilot of a Green Office program for departments interested in incorporating more sustainability practices. To participate, departments answer a series of questions, ranging from resource conservation to community-building activities. Each office or department is then acknowledged for its participation through the Office of Sustainability’s communication channels and with an eco-friendly gift. Recognition is valid for a given time period, after which resubmission is necessary. Information about the program’s measurable results will become available once the program is fully instituted in 2015/2016.
