Energy Challenge: Do It in the Dark 2008

Thanks for a great Energy Challenge 2008.
As the demand and cost for energy grows and effects of climate change begin to show, it becomes even more necessary to reduce our energy use. Simple things like turning off unused appliances or lowering the temperature in your mini fridge can have and impact how much energy we use. To help realize energy reduction potential, Brandeis held Energy Challenge: Do It in the Dark 2008 from Monday, November 10th- Sunday, November 23rd. The goal of the yearly Energy Challenge is for students to reduce its energy usage in the dorms for 2 weeks. A sample week of electricity was taken from building meters and we will see who can use the least energy compared to other buildings.
