Energy Efficiency is the best new source of energy. It all adds up—When we pool
our individual energy-saving actions together, they have an enormous collective
impact. That’s why taking even small actions are so important. New energy like wind
or gas fired generation comes at a price, that’s why efficiency truly is the lowest-cost,
best new source of energy. Together we can make wise use of our resources and help
the environment.
Determining the winners
At the end of the month we will use the online energy diary data to determine the
university with the largest total amount of energy saved and the
living group with the highest average** of energy saved. In
the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted to determine the winners.
