Campus standards for Energy Savings: Plug Loads, Occupant Behavior

Good morning: I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of any higher ed campus standards or policies focused on plug load management, occupant behavior related to energy, etc. I'm especially interested in any examples of communications to faculty or students encouraging behaviors that reduce energy consumption.

Hi Chris - The AASHE website has tons of examples, perhaps not campus-wide policies, per se, but competitions at various campuses between student dorms for lower energy use, water use, or more waste diversion.

You can also look at the STARS AASHE rating system at individual instutions scores. The report data is publically available. Navigate to any institution link and click on the date of the last report which will open the scorecard. There are scores under engagement that might be what you are looking for Link to Binghamton University as an example of v2.2 Gold

Thanks, Allison. I have attached a listing of other examples I found for reference the next time this comes up.
