Morgan,
The closing report is attached for your review.
The celebration for Barton (and the organization team) is May 7th in Clark hall rooms A&B from 6-7 pm,
The trophies are ordered and scheduled to be given to building team captains at the celebration.

Fellow Big Ten CCN participants,
OSU is hoping to benchmark our results against our peer institutions, not for marketing, but as an internal measurement. Lucid was kind enough to provide our website hits when we asked them to. I’d like to share with the group this information in hopes that you’ll share yours with us.
We had 8 halls competing with a combined 5000 or so residents. Results of our website hits are in the attached CSV file. Competition dates were 2/10-3/3. This is our first year, and we’re hoping to do better in the future, of course.
ECO-OLYMPICS is an energy competition between 20+ residence halls on campus.
Our goal is to engage, educate, and motivate students/employees/professors to change their behavior, and have a good time while doing it.
Eco-Olympics is part of a nationwide program called Campus Conservation Nationals 2014, as well as a mini Big Ten competition FMI: www.competetoreduce.org/ccn. Trophies and prizes will be given to the successful halls.
What you can do to help:
You and your team members play a critical role in this incredible opportunity to make a difference in campus energy usage.
This is the inaugural competition, so we will be creating a yearly tradition to leave behind and impact future students here at UIUC. The participants will also be able to include this on their resume as leadership, volunteering, team building and/or group participation.
There will be meetings in March leading up to the competition that is scheduled for March 30-April 22, these meetings will train participants, go over the guidelines, and assign buildings to each team.
Thank you for your interest and participation in Eco Olympics, a Great opportunity making a difference locally and globally.
If you have any question I can be reached at gfoote2@illinois.edu

Hi All,
Attached you will find the Building Captain Manual that Penn State used last year for our volunteers and Eco-Reps for our "Fight the Power" CCN competition last year. Here is the link to our dashboard from last year as well: http://buildingdashboard.net/psu
I also included a "Best Practices" document that I downloaded from AASHE, but I still find it helpful.

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone had a great holiday!
As a follow-up to our initial meeting, I would like to thank you all for your interest in participating in the first ever UIUC CCN competition.
It is great to find fellow students interested in making a difference in the world, and sustainability in energy conservation is a great place to start.
This competition is promising to be an Awesome experience!
Getting started: I would like to schedule a meeting where we discuss the roles needed and create the competition schedule.
I know these next two weeks are demanding but we need to meet,
With this in mind; I am available most evenings after 5 pm, Mon and Tue I have prior arrangements but can cancel them if needed.
Please respond today or Tue with which evenings and times that work or don’t work for you, then I will post the meeting options that meet the majority
Attached is a sample timeline. Keep in mind these are recommendations and we may opt to re-arrange to best fit our team’s needs.
When I met with you there was some question as to the duties in each role participating in the competition, attached is a pdf of sample team position descriptions.
When responding with meeting times if you already know what role or roles you are interested in please indicate that in your response. Thank you!
http://competetoreduce.org/ccn/plan.html This is a link to the competition training webinars, I encourage you to scroll to the bottom and read the CCN Competition Planning Guide and the CCN Data Collection & BuildingOS Guide. These will provide important data for understanding what and how we are going to accomplish CCN, as the competition organization team.
For those of you that are more ambitious watch the webinars as they are well prepared and explain many facets of the competition in great detail.
I have downloaded and watched them all!
As for an update on the current status of the competition;
-We have a tentative timeline for collection and competition weeks, however we have been invited to participate in a Big 10 version of the competition as well, this may require us to modify our schedule to match the Big 10 timeline, will update as we progress.
-The 20 res Halls with metering capability have been identified and I am working with the metering dept. to get training on how to digitally collect this data.
-Most of the signatures on the CCN registration have been received with 2 remaining this will be completed by Dec 15th 2013.
Thank you again for your participation and I look forward to working with all of you in creating this Amazing competition at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign.

Hi Bart,
Please touch base with Seth about KCP glove recycling, to get up to speed on the program they are using at ISTC. Then work with lab store managers around campus to help them implement the program. We will need a tracking system to be able to report on campus efforts, so find out if KCP will provide us with annual volumes or if we have to do it ourselves. You can also touch base with Olof Westerstahl in Corporate Relations to get up to speed on any conversations he has had with KCP.
Thanks,
Morgan
The University has recently hired a student and purchased a bicylce from the Campus Bicycle Shop to start a courier bike system. This is to replace vehicle deliveries on campus.
-Involving the individual colleges for spreading the word to gain student leaders and volunteers, ex: College of Environmental Sciences, Atmospheric Sciences, ACES etc… ?
After gaining their support, I would send a mass e-mail to the admins office and they could forward to students
