Changing Behavior to Save Energy On Campus

We contracted Integrated Energy Solutions, Inc. to change the way we use energy.

Changes promoted to trim off energy use:

  • Turn off unnecessary lights after hours
  • Computer Management System Software use
  • Tightening after-hours thermostat controls
  • Turn off a few lights in highly lit places
  • Set the thermostat temperature lower in the winter and higher in the summer

How they do it:

  • Promote energy pledges
  • Identify where new technology can save
  • Inform faculty with monthly savings tips and FYI articles

Whatever they can do to spread the word and get things turned off!

How much did we save?

2% OF OUR TOTAL ELECTRICITY USE
THAT’S 12,350 TONS OF CO2 A YEAR!
