The National Campus Energy Challenge will be based on the percent reduction achieved in kWh and BTU from previous years rather than trying to compare between dissimilar campuses. The competition identifies the 'most improved' campuses to avoid comparing campuses of different types, climate zones, and scales.
Each campus establishes a baseline of the past three years’ data for February ('05, '06, and '07) and reports this data through an online survey by Tuesday, February 5 at midnight Eastern Time. After the February competition, each campus must report the same data set for 2008 by Tuesday, March 18th at midnight Eastern Time.
