Kill-A-Watt

Kill-A-Watt An energy saving competition at the University of Michigan. http://www.killawattumich.org
Follow Our third competition will be held in Fall 2013!

We are a student organization that organizes the Kill-A-Watt competition, an energy reduction competition between residence halls at U-M, held each fall semester. Students compete on behalf of their residence hall to reduce the energy use below a 10% reduction compared to a previous four-year average. Students can also earn enthusiasm points for their hall by attending Kill-A-Watt events, bringing friends to events, liking our page and spreading the word!
