The UNH Energy Task Force, UNH Energy Office, and UNH University Office of Sustainability encourage all faculty, staff, and students to powerdown - turn off and unplug all computers, TV's and other electronics, printers and other office equipment, and more - when away from offices, residence halls, or apartments and homes for nights, weekends, and breaks.
By turning off and unplugging computers, printers, fax machines, cell phone chargers, and other equipment and electronics - or by turning off the power strip into which they are plugged - you’ll save energy, lower energy bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions!
UNH faculty, staff, and students saved over 159,000 kilowatt-hours (kwh) of energy, $22,721 dollars in energy and water costs, and over 50 metric tons of emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents through the University’s Fall 2006 Student Energy Waste Watch Challenge and its annual Thanksgiving “powerdown” initiative. These emissions savings are the equivalent of 116 barrels of oil or not driving 11 passengar cars for one year.
As a Climate Protection Campus, UNH is committed to reducing its emissions of greenhouse gases, improving energy efficiency and conservation, and educating students, faculty, and staff about the relationship between energy choices and costs, climate change, and our economic and social well-being.
