College Campuses Compete to Save on Energy Resources

College students

Many educational institutions are stunning architectural buildings and have strong historical ties to the institution and its community. But many of these buildings are rapidly aging and colleges and universities are realizing these beautiful buildings are virtual energy resource money pits.

The energy use in schools across the U.S. is a big issue–so big, that a national campaign to reduce energy use on campuses was created. Between February 6 and April 23, 2012, students on campuses across the U.S. are competing to reduce electricity and water use in their residence halls over a three-week period. The contest is called Campus Conservation Nationals (CCN) and over 100 colleges registered for the competition at www.CompeteToReduce.org.

Participating dorms computer against other school buildings on their own campuses and can also choose to compete against schools as well. The overall goal of the competition is to save one gigawatt-hour of electricity.

The competition was created by the Alliance to Save Energy and it partnered with Lucid Design Group, the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USBGC) and the National Wildlife Federation

Aside from environmental and economic benefits, the competition serves as a learning opportunity as well. Students discover the environmental and economic costs of energy consumption and can become advocates for energy consumption.

While the students compete by finding ways to cut energy costs, the schools are undoubtedly looking for ways to reduce the economic and environmental impact of buildings across their campuses.

The Thermolite Window System is an alternative to upgrading inefficient HVAC systems or replacing windows that have architectural significance to the campus. Contact us now to see how Thermolite’s patented supplemental window systems will provide your campus with an immediate energy ROI.x

    Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Currently it looks like Wordpress is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

    A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should write more about this issue, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people do not speak about such subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!
