SHORT VERSION:
We are looking for students from each residence hall to help lead the way in hosting events and motivating students to conserve energy during the PowerDown competition! If you are interested, please sign up below!

If you have questions, contact Louis Spanias (Sustainability Program Manager) at lspanias@g.hmc.edu.


LONG VERSION:
Starting this semester, Harvey Mudd will once again participate in the 5C PowerDown Competition!

As part of a larger Campus Conservation Nationals competition facilitated by Lucid, Harvey Mudd will compete against the other Claremont Colleges, as well as other college campuses around the country, to see who can reduce their residential electricity consumption by the largest percentage over three weeks. In collaboration with Engineers for a Sustainable World / Mudders Organizing for Sustainable Solutions (ESW/MOSS) and Facilities & Maintenance (F&M), the Hixon Center will help facilitate the PowerDown Campaign during the first half of the spring semester.

While prizes have not been determined, the PowerDown campaign will include a reward for the campus with the largest percentage of electricity conserved over a three-week period (as compared to a prior 2-week baseline period). The Hixon Center and F&M will also look to reward the residence hall with the highest electricity conservation percentage during the competition. While administrative and academic buildings do not officially partake in PowerDown, the Hixon Center invites campus faculty and staff to get involved as well!

The Hixon Center invites students from across the residence halls to become a part of Harvey Mudd’s PowerDown Team, which will be responsible for representing Harvey Mudd at 5C PowerDown meetings and for coordinating electricity conservation efforts at their own residence halls.
