The Alliance to Save Energy’s PowerSave Campus program is a student-led initiative, in 23 universities, that educates the campus community on energy efficiency, achieves energy savings, and encourages the next generation of energy efficiency professionals by:
- Building pathways to green careers through training, mentorship, internships, volunteer opportunities, and project-based learning. - Realizing measurable energy savings through research into and implementation of energy efficiency best practices, educational campaigns, and facilitation of retrofits. - Infusing energy and energy efficiency concepts into academic curricula. - Promoting energy efficiency outreach through educational campaigns.
Projects range from energy audits and assessments, residential and laboratory energy competitions, intern-led and faculty sponsored academic courses, green career fairs, and energy efficiency technology retrofits. PowerSave Campus interns work closely with faculty, staff, administrators and other students to engage them in their projects, spearheading educational campaigns that involve the entire campus community.
