1. Energy efficiency in CM purchasing and personal rooms (Passed 12/3/08)

A. When purchasing new appliance for BSC houses, Central Maintenance will buy the most energy efficient models possible, as permitted by current economic constraints and organizational experience.
B. Incandescent bulbs will not be used for permanent light fixtures in BSC buildings.
1. Exception: when only an incandescent bulb is appropriate for a fixture’s function.
2. Exception: when needed specifically for art projects.
C. Members of all units except Fenwick using personal refrigerators will be charged a minimum fee of $16 per semester, to be paid to the house accounts. This number is an approximation of how much it costs to run a small refrigerator for one semester. At the beginning of each fall semester, the Sustainability Coordinator (CACom, in absence of a Coordinator) will update this amount according to current energy prices. Houses may decide if they want to charge a higher fee in order to discourage extra energy use.
1. Exception: members with diabetes, or other health issues that require access to food in personal rooms, will be exempt from the fee.
D. Room inspections by house maintenance managers will include checking for refrigerators and permanent light fixtures.
