A brief description of the campaign(s):
POWERless is a residential energy reduction competition that started in the spring of 2008 and has taken place at least once a year since then. All primary residential buildings on campus participate in the competition, which has ranged from 2 weeks to 7 weeks in length. Students compete to reduce the electricity use in their building, based on baseline power consumption. The winner is the building with the largest percentage energy reduction over the course of the competition. There is also a competition between residential neighborhoods to see which can reduce its consumption the most. There is a prize for the building occupants in each division (based on occupancy) with the greatest reduction, and the neighborhood in each division with the greatest reduction has its name added to the POWERless trophy, which resides in the Moseley Center.
