With just one week remaining in the 2009 POWERless Energy Competition, the lead has narrowed in certain divisions, which organizers believe will make for an interesting home stretch during a contest to see which residence halls can most reduce their electricity consumption.
In the Division I building competition, Maynard, Colclough, Oaks Building B and Chandler are within 2.5% of each other. The competition ends April 7. In Division II, Danieley Apartments C leads with 26.6% energy reduction with Loy J/K, L, M not far behind with 25% reduction.
The Oaks and North Area are still battling it out for the Division I area competition. To date, The Oaks is at 18.5% energy reduction and North Area is at 15.4% energy reduction.
In Division II, Danieley Center still holds the lead with 47.5% energy reduction.
Students can monitor their building’s energy consumption using the Building Dashboard web site link to the right.

Tip of the Week: Be quick when getting something out of the refrigerator. For every minute a refrigerator door is open, it will take three minutes for it to regain its temperature.
