'Ville Unplugged

March 25th - April 14th

‘Ville Unplugged is a three-week, energy-conservation campaign focused on reducing campus energy use through simple actions such as turning off lights and computers when not in use. Simple actions like these can reduce energy use by up to 20 percent and they are a critical part of the energy management strategy presented in Millersville’s Climate Action Plan.

'Ville Unplugged 2019 lasts from March 25th through April 14th.

Residence Hall Energy Conservation Competition

During 'Ville Unplugged the residence halls and the classroom buildings each compete against each other to see who can save the most energy. You can track the competition on the 'Ville Unplugged Dashboard to see who is leading during each week of the competition.

The residence hall that saves the most energy gets a pizza party!
