Re: University Energy Efficiency
2010-03-23 10:17:06 UTC
Hi Zed
Ohio University, Athens Campus had a great program for energy conservation on campus that was started almost a decade ago in tandem with their energy upgrades to mechanical and electrical systems. The people involved have all changed since I was more familiar with project but there is some good information on their Campus Sustainability website under residence challenge. Each year students in the dorms were encouraged to reduce energy and compete to win prizes. It seems the program was still going strong until 2008.
Check out: https://www.ohio.edu/sustainability/ResidenceChallenge2008.htm there is contact information there as well for more recent updates. Good luck!

Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency developed the Idle-Free Zone CBSM materials as a result of initial research in Mississauga. Since then there are a number of other mechanisms that have been used including key tags and rear window hangers. I think the most effective and most used has been the window decal. You can see some of the research done at: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/communities-government/idling.cfm under resources/reports and research. Downloadable versions of the materials created are also available on the site.

The Regional Municipality of York has a great program for indoor and outdoor water conservation called Water for Tomorrow. The program has been running for a number of years and has included initiatives such as personalized lawn and garden visits, toilet rebate programs, rain barrel programs, information kits, demonstrations and water efficient garden design workshops, presentations at community events, linkages to the Children's water festival, and others. Information about the program can be found at www.waterfortomorrow.ca

Hi Rosemarie,
There was an Energy Challenge program created for the Calgary Fire Department that encouraged fire fighters at each station to compete to reduce their energy consumption. This program was designed to take advantage of the competitive spirit amongst fire fighters. The first step in the process involved an assessment of the potential savings that could be achieved through behavioural change activities at fire halls, then conducting a series of workshops, developing an energy conservation kit, and providing regular updates and incentives for conservation. The fire hall that reduced the most energy quarterly and annually received a cash reward that was to be used for an item(s) the fire fighters wanted for their fire hall. The program ran for a number of years and received a Canadian National Energy Efficiency Award for Public Education.
More information about the program can be found at:

I ran the program at that time and would be happy to discuss it in more detail if you would like. Please feel free to contact me at the email below.

Re: Costs of Launching Social Marketing Campaign

We have developed CBSM campaigns for a number of different topics including energy efficiency. I'm interested in hearing more about your campaign and would be happy to discuss start-up costs, etc that should help you present the opportunity to Idaho Power. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
