Winter Break Energy Savings
Winter Break is a fantastic opportunity for campus to power down to conserve energy and save money. In recent years, we have saved an average of $1,000 on energy costs every day of break with your help. Over just a few weeks, these energy savings add up to the electricity used by about 4 households over an entire year!
