Thanks to a serendipitous partnership with the Provost’s Office, Kill-a-Watt 2010 will begin by taking an in-depth look at water issues in West Michigan and around the globe. On Thursday, February 4, there will be teach-ins across campus with faculty, staff, and outside experts addressing a number of different topics ranging from changes in the Great Lakes ecosystems to personal choices in water consumption. Check back for a full schedule of talks and locations!
wow! wow! wow! Here are the final numbers for Kill-a-Watt. Job well done, everyone. The savings are remarkable indeed!
These numbers reflect the point totals for the all of Kill-a-Watt. They are a combination of the electricity savings numbers below plus hall participation in events (ie trayless tuesday, meatless monday or a documentary showing). If you have any other questions about the final results or prizes, feel free to e-mail killawattcalvin@gmail.com. Also, if you’re interested in starting up an energy saving venture of your own, let us know and we’d love to help!
Great job, everyone! We’ve done good.
THESE ARE NOT FINAL NUMBERS! These are the electricity savings plus the points they were awarded according to 10pts per percentage and a 50 pt bonus for going over 15%. These numbers reflect not only the work that we did this month in the halls, but also the change from Calvin instituting the use of high efficiency light fixtures in the halls as well. So congratulations are due on both sides…good for students saving energy, good for calvin making steps toward efficiency.
on a final note, BHT’s electrical saving of 26% is unheard of! This is really rare. Great Job BHT! And great job to everyone! We all reached our goal and saved over 15% (which is what studies say is a good savings for the first year of an energy comp!) Nice work everyone!
