Something we can all agree on!

Energy efficiency makes sense: incorporating energy efficient strategies should continue to be part of the solution to our energy problems.

Americans Broadly Support Energy Efficiency - National Association of Manufacturers -... Washington, D.C., February 27, 2014 – Efforts to promote energy efficiency enjoy overwhelming support among key political demographics, according to a poll released today by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).

In 2010, Morrison Residence Hall was named the winner of the 2010 EPA National Building Competition.

Morrison Residence Hall reduced its energy use by over 35% by combining energy efficiency strategies including improved operations and maintenance as well as outreach to dormitory residents. An energy dashboard, displayed on a computer touch-screen monitor in the dormitory's lobby, helped residents keep track of energy consumption.

The largest portion of savings came from improvements to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and accounted for 33.7% of the 35% savings. It was the combination of HVAC improvements, lighting upgrades, solar water heating, and resident education that propelled Morrison to the winner's podium.
