College of Science Energy Challenge

The College of Science has challenged the Main Building to a year-long energy conservation contest. Not only will the College compete for the glory of achieving a greater percentage energy reduction than the Dome, but half of all the College’s electricity savings will be converted into science scholarship funding by the University administration.

The Main Building widened the gap in September to have 11.0% total energy savings for the competition compared to the College’s 4.9%. For the month, the Main Buildings had a 17.9% improvement over August and the College had a 4.25% improvement. See the menu items on the right for information on top energy saving strategies.
