黄色直播

This year 黄色直播 AC will be holding the second annual ECOlympics.

The ECOlympics is a two week long event which promotes sustainability in residences on campus. Meters have been installed on each house at the AC so that energy usage can be tracked more precisely. These meters are being used during the ECOlympics to track usage before and after commitments are made to reduce energy use and the house with the largest reduction in usage will win the trophy and a prize.

Last year, Trueman House won the trophy. This year competition will be fierce as knowledge of and participation in the ECOlympics grows. Come out to events to win prizes, and reduce your energy usage to win the ECOlympics trophy and bring the bragging rights home for your house! Events include:
