Thank you for taking measures to conserve energy over the winter break!

The University saved $70,994 in electricity and steam compared to the same number of days during the months of November and December (Baseline 11/29/14 – 12/14/14).

This is a reduction of:

• 30 percent in electricity (951,885 kWh) which is equivalent to energizing over 78 homes per year!
• 11 percent in steam (522,350 lbm)

An average house in the U.S. can consume 12,164 kwh

(For a typical house of 1,500 to 2,000 sq.ft. according to EIA Energy Information Administration, Residential Energy Consumption Survey)

Your efforts made a difference. Congratulations!

If you have any questions, ideas and/or comments about the MSU Energy Program, please contact Pilar Karlen, energy manager.

Also, stay tuned for the “Campus Conservation Nationals” this coming spring. Get ready to compete with other universities in electrical conservation from April 5-26.
