The competition will run from January 21 through March 21.

Final results will be determined by comparing official Housing data of residential water and electricity use from the beginning and end of the competition. Standings will be intermittently posted.

Electricity and water use re duction will be measured as a percentage change from the same time period last year and weighted to calculate a combined electricity and water use reduction, which will be used to determine the winners.

Who can participate?

• All dorms and houses with GLC (Green Living Council) representatives are eligible to participate.
• All dorms and houses will compete individually except Florence Moore, Castaño + Lantana, Lagunita, Stern, and Wilbur which will each compete as dorm complexes due to linked water and electricity meters.

What are the Prizes?

• Exact prizes will depend on the residence that wins, its residents’ preferences, and its current needs as assessed by Housing.
• Prizes will be given to:
• Most Efficient Residence (Per Capita) – the dorm and house that are the most efficient on a per capita basis will receive trophies.
• 10% Reduction From Last Year – any dorm or house that reduces its combined electricity and water use by 10% or more from that of the same period last year will receive prizes such as reusable water bottles, t-shirts, or similar rewards chosen by the residence.
• 20% Reduction From Last Year – any dorm or house that reduces its combined electricity and water use by 20% or more from that of the same period last year will receive prizes such as energy-efficient appliances or even an energy-efficient flat screen TV!
