Measurement Investigation for Behavioural Change Campaigning within UBC residences

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

This project intends to investigate the impact of the Fall 2018 Shorter Showers campaign at the University of British Columbia (UBC) student residences. The main purpose of the project was to analyse the energy, water, and greenhouse gas (GHG) savings associated with the behaviour change campaign. Consequently, the project sought to determine the best practices for a measurement program to support specific energy and water savings campaigns within UBC student residences, and to provide recommendations for measurement and verification (M&V) for future campaigns. The targeted residence for this project was Building 10 at Totem Park- Cesnam (c̓əsnaʔəm) House. Based on the initial analysis, there were no quantifiable savings as a result of this campaign. An increase in hot water energy consumption was identified despite weather normalizing to eliminate any effect of the hot water used for building heating.
