Race to the Finish!

Reminder: Take Part in Royal Roads Research
Have you done upgrades and are wondering just how much a difference they've made to your energy consumption?
The Office of Sustainability at Royal Roads University is measuring the change in energy consumption after the installation of energy saving technologies through the Solar Colwood and Solar CRD programs, and would like to help you find out how much you're saving, and how much we are all saving overall.
Participation is easy, and all data that you share will be kept strictly confidential. Please contact Jordan Kummerfield at solarcolwood@royalroads.ca with any questions or to join in.
