1st Campaign
Mega Energy Competition
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged:
The Mega Energy Competition is an annual energy conservation competition in student residential housing. The program takes place over one month during the fall semester. Energy usage is monitored for one week prior to the competition in order to establish a baseline. Then a "kick-off event" is held to inform housing residents about the competition and educate them about strategies for reducing their energy use during and after the competition. Outreach events and pizza parties are held throughout the competition and energy conservation results are publicized each week to spur competition between each Residential College. At the end of the program, the winning residence is declared, a trophy awarded and an "Energy Savers Do It In the Dark" party is held to celebrate all participants.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
During the fall 2015 semester, students conserved 61,341 kWhs over the course of the competition.

A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged (2nd campaign):
The RIDE campaign is organized by Sustainable Transportation at CSULB to market and promote alternative transportation options, such as carpool, vanpool, shuttle, EVs, bike, and transit.

All of our marketing products and electronic posts have a common design and theme.

Since the RIDE campaign was launched in August 2015, we have seen 53 new enrollees in our Rideshare Rewards program. Our ridematching partner Zimride has reported a very positive growth in usage. We saw 178 new users in August 2015 alone, compared to 72 new users in August 2014. Our carsharing partner Zipcar has also reported higher utilization rates.
