Oberlin campus resource monitoring system

Oberlin has developed a system to monitor and display online the electricity consumption in the dormitories. The objective of the system is to provide real-time feedback to students about their electricity use. Two psychology professors are now working to quantify the effects of this technology on student attitude and behavior toward the environment. The project is funded in part through the EPA's “People, Prosperity and Planet” (P3) program.
