Chancellor's Energy Challenge Results Weeks 1&2

The results for weeks one and two of the Chancellor's Energy Challenge are in. Some residence halls are cutting back on their electrical use, while others have a ways to go to make a significant difference. This goes for everyone as well as those living in the residence halls. Remember:

1. Turn off lights you are not using and when you leave your room.
2. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs wherever possible. Learn more on this Energy Star web page.
3. Turn off your computer at night when you go to bed at night. Use the energy conservation settings on your computer to put it into sleep mode when you are not using it during the day. Learn how to make your computer more energy efficient by following the instructions at the Energy Star website.
4. And, although it does not directly save electricity in the residence halls, remember to walk or ride you bike whenever weather and road conditions permit, or use public transportation. Every little bit helps conserve energy.
