Our team will track energy consumption from participating residences two weeks before the start of the competition to establish a baseline. Then, energy consumption during the challenge will be compared to the baseline to see if residences reduced their energy usage and displayed any behaviour changes.

Student participation is also measured; students can earn extra points for their residence by participating in Residence Energy Challenge-related events and activities or displaying energy efficiency behaviour.

Daily updates will be provided via Facebook and Instagram, with the latest results for each participating residence as the challenge progresses. The data will show the average reduction in energy usage since the challenge began.

• Have an engaging and competitive residence-wide energy consumption competition.
• Raise awareness of sustainability initiatives at UNB.
• Educate community members and participants about sustainable action through energy-saving tips.
• Have the competition influence adoption of more sustainable lifestyle choices.
• Reduce UNB’s carbon footprint.
