The winners for the medium and small building categories were again the Major Warehouse with a 29% decrease in electricity use in Feb 2023 compared with Feb 2022, and Nobska House with an incredible 48% decrease! Because the occupants of these buildings have already gotten to enjoy their free coffee, we’ve decided to give the prize this month to the second place buildings in each category.
In the medium category that’s the Distribution Center on Quissett Campus who decreased their electric use 17%. And in the small building category it’s the Carpenters Shop who dropped their electric use by 30% by closing their highbay door regularly.
Distribution and Carpenters Shop occupants will get a free fancy coffee or beverage at the Buttery. Please notify the person at the register that you won the Energy Efficiency Challenge for your building for the month of February. Prizes must be redeemed by April 15th. We’ll announce the March challenge winners in mid-April.

Congratulations to the occupants of those buildings for working hard to reduce your energy consumption!
Fenno and Challenger occupants will get a free fancy coffee or beverage at the Buttery. Please notify the person at the register that you won the Energy Efficiency Competition for your building for the month of March. Prizes must be redeemed by May 15th.
