Contest Details

Each building in Husky Village, South, Charter Oak Apartments, and Hilltop Apartments will compete against each other to see who can conserve the most energy and water based upon their previous usage.
The contest will take place from March 21-April 18

The building that has the largest percentage of energy and water saved on a per person basis compared to previous usage will be named the winner.  Last semester Shippee reduced their energy use by 16% and Hanks reduced their water use by 50%!

The winning building will receive a Dairy Bar Ice Cream Party and an Energy Offset Certificate!

Why are we doing this competition?

By conserving energy, we can help reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions into the atmosphere.

Using less water means reducing our negative impact on the environment.

Because UConn runs entirely off of wells, UConn's water consumption has already contributed to drying up a stretch of the Fenton River during the dry season.
Previous Eco-Madness competitions have saved up to 20.6 tons of CO2 in only 30 days!
