Please review before the meeting on October 29.

I've kept track of the energy consumption of these three buildings over the past couple of weeks, and I've found that Dallas Hall's energy usage typically hovers around $34.50 a day. The engineering buildings are actually decreasing their energy usage to $127.87 for Embrey and $77.72 for Junkins, so keep up the good work!

You can decrease your energy usage in these buildings by:
- turning off the lights after class ends
- shutting down computers in the labs when you're finished using them
- keeping the inside doors of Dallas Hall closed for more efficient heating and cooling

See how much of a difference you and your classmates can make by visiting smu.edu/sustainability and click on "SMU's Environmental Footprint Meter!"

Post your findings and observations from the SMU Environmental Footprint Meter. Be sure to include resources and helpful tips for residents to help them consume less energy.
