| Case Study: Tufts University |

| Tufts University installed 90 Vending Misers on their campus vending machines. With a payback time of less than 1 year, these energy saving devices have a motion sensor; if no one is near the vending machine for 15 minutes, the vending machine is shut off. Tufts found that the energy use from a vending machine was cut in half with the Vending Miser and recommends the practice to other campuses. For more information, see their handout here. |
| Case Study: Harvard University |

| The equipment in science departments often uses the most power. Further, fhis equipment is often not turned off with regularity, and therefore wastes a lot of energy. Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology has established an Energy Reduction Program with a focus on conservation and sustainable facility development.
