One MW drop during Dim Down
On Friday October 23rd, energy consumption across campus, started with the normal increase starting at 6.00 am. But when the clock struck 12, even it being a cold rainy day, and prefering to be indoors, the spartans still showed their 'be green' attitude at noon for the dim down and there was a 1 MW dip during the lunch! Hats off Spartans!
