Fume Hood Electricity Use
Awareness Study
Does awareness affect electricity use?
1 week “ad campaign” Repercussions of fume hood misuse Hypothesis driven
Awareness increases Electricity decreases Goals:
understand laboratory energy use calculate dollars saved calculate decrease in CO2 emissions decrease building consumption global awareness and change
