The winner of the 2013 Kill-A-Watt Challenge is:  HILL HALL!

Hill was engaged and it seems like their efforts really paid off.  A combination of a whopping 53% energy savings, in-house RA events, and folks coming to a movie night, Hill racked up their points.  So now, Hill residents, it is up to you to plan how you want to spend your $500 winnings!

Three cheers to our top energy savers*:

• Cushing Hall (54%)
• Hill Hall (53%)
• Main Street Suites (23%)

*figures were based comparing KwH usage per day, per person between February 2013 and February 2012.

Three cheers to our top participation point earners:

• Hill Hall (82)
• Lakeview (26)
• 396 Main Street (24)

 All told, we saw an average of 2% energy savings across all of our main campus buildings. Twelve main campus buildings saw savings between 1-54%, and eleven buildings actually increased usage from last year (anywhere between 1-32%).  For those of you in Quarry & Spinner calculating your energy use is difficult as it is through another power provider and the billing is set up in a way that would take a lot of time to calculate. Since we did not see any active participation in any of the events or other ways to earn points I did not calculate the energy use.

Each building’s energy usage can be seen on the Kill-A-Watt blog https://cckillawatt.wordpress.com/2013-scores/

Thank you for making this a fun event. Again, please go to the very quick survey and pass along your thoughts on the Kill-A-Watt Challenge so we can make it even better next year.
