Residential College Energy Scorecard
 

Conserving energy is good for our community and good for your college!

By reducing electric, air conditioning and heating use in your dorm room and around your college, you and your classmates can reduce Yale’s energy consumption — and greenhouse gas emissions to our air.

Note: colleges not listed do not have data available to perform comparative analyses (recent construction/renovation). These colleges will be judged based on the overall performance of all the other colleges.
