Congratulations to Bethune the overall winner for 2015!
Students are doing their part to minimize their energy consumption and compete for a sustainability-themed award (even during the Labour Disruption). Residence Life Staff members at each undergraduate residence helped build awareness, educate, and ultimately change students' electricity consumption behavior. The Res Race to Zero complements York's 5-year Energy Management Plan which includes a $40 million investment to reduce consumption by 25%. Modifying behavior is an essential component of reducing our carbon footprint.
Measurement:
There are 7 Keele and 2 Glendon undergrad residences involved in this year's challenge. Each building has different capabilities when it comes to energy efficiency - mostly due to age. The challenge in each Residence, and for each student, was to lower their March 2015 consumption, beating the levels from 2014.
The residences that are able to show a reduction in energy per capita are winners in this race; the residence with the most improved performance win the sustainability themed award.
Week 1 - Congratulations to Calumet Residence, Winner of Res Race Week 1
Week 2 - Congratulations to Hilliard Residence, Winner of Res Race Week 2
Week 3 - Congratulations to Wood Residence, Winner of Res Race Week 3
Week 4 - Congratulations to Bethune Residence, Winner of Res Race Week 4
