The first real-time, nationwide building energy and water use reduction competition
Campus Conservation Nationals 2010 is a nationwide resource use reduction competition that challenges college and university campuses to achieve the greatest electricity and water use reductions during a 3-week period. Taking place from November 1-19, the Campus Conservation Nationals will utilize Lucid Design Group's Building Dashboard®, provided for free for CCN participants during the competition. CCN's goals are to:
- Engage, educate, motivate, and empower students to conserve resources in their residences
- Achieve measurable reductions in electricity and water use in the residences, and prevent the associated carbon dioxide emissions
- Save money on utility bills
- Foster a culture of conservation within campus communities
- Participate in a program that enables students to teach themselves conservation behaviors that they can employ in the home and workplace in the future
- Enable students to develop leadership and community organizing skills
Colleges and universities from across the U.S. will be competing to reduce energy and water use compared to recent consumption in their buildings. Residence halls where students live full time will be among the participating buildings.
