Energy Awareness and Conservation

The SOU Energy Awareness and Conservation page is here to promote efficient use of energy and natural resources by campus members, on and off campus. We have been working hard the past few years to improve the energy performance of the buildings on the SOU campus but everyone's effort is required to achieve our goals. Efficient use can only come from the people who occupy the buildings. Please look around and learn something about conservation at SOU and what part you can play to reduce your individual impact on the environment. Please share what you have learned here with fellow Southerners' to encourage energy awareness and conservation.
