NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced they have joined Efficiency Vermont’s Energy Leadership Challenge, which establishes a goal of reducing energy consumption by 7.5% on the campus over the next two years.
Partnering with Efficiency Vermont and SourceOne, an energy management and consulting services firm out of Boston, Norwich’s campus will undergo a thorough energy audit beginning in late September. The audit will evaluate the use of energy at all levels on campus from the central heating plant to lighting, and it is slated to take several months to complete.
According to SourceOne, a subsidiary of Veolia Energy North America, the campus can reduce its energy use by about 5% per year, saving a minimum of 400,000 kilowatt hours annually—roughly the amount of electricity consumed by more than 44 average Vermont homes (Vermont Department of Public Service figures). With the efforts from SourceOne and other energy saving measures, this puts the challenge goal of 7.5% within reach by 2013.
“The energy conservation measures to be identified by SourceOne and implemented by Norwich will take our long tradition of seeking operating efficiencies to a new level,” said Chief Administrative Officer Dave Magida. “Norwich already has a very energy efficient campus, but with the assistance of Efficiency Vermont and SourceOne, we are looking forward to meeting the goal of the Energy Leadership Challenge.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Norwich University to identify solutions to help reduce energy consumption on campus,” said Vincent Martin, President of SourceOne. “At SourceOne, we share Norwich’s commitment to energy efficiency, and we applaud their efforts to implement measures that will enable the University to operate their facilities in an even more cost-effective, efficient and environmentally-responsible manner.”
The Energy Leadership Challenge is an invitation to the largest businesses and institutions in Vermont to take action to achieve a 7.5% energy savings at their facilities over the challenge’s two-year timeframe – July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013. The program is geared to the largest 300 or so commercial energy users in Vermont, as well as commercial energy users in Burlington Electric Department territory.
“Norwich’s leadership is exemplary," said Tim Perrin, Efficiency Vermont account manager. "By setting an energy reduction goal and developing a comprehensive plan to achieve it through this partnership, their investments will improve the operation of buildings and tackle deferred maintenance items, while achieving a rate of return that rivals historical endowment performance.”

NEWS RELEASE
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University will host Democratic Political Consultant and CNN Contributor James Carville and Republican Political Consultant and CNN Contributor Mary Matalin in a look at today's most important political issues as well as a behind-the-scenes look at politics inside Washington and how today's headlines are playing out around the country on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. in Plumley Armory.
This event is part of the annual Todd Lecture Series.
Carville is the unbowed liberal and former co-host of Crossfire, while conservative Matalin most recently served as both counselor to the vice president and assistant to President George W. Bush.

Matalin served as President George Bush's campaign manager in 1992, while her then soon-to-be husband, Carville, was President Bill Clinton's campaign manager.
Now they share their political opinions and affiliations—which haven't merged despite matrimony—with audiences everywhere and provide a stimulating, candid and provocative analysis of today's hot-button political issues from both sides of the political aisle.
Carville and Matalin are the authors of the national best seller, All's Fair: Love, War, and Running for President.
The discussion will be moderated by Associate Professor of Political Science Jason Jagemann.
This event is free and open to the public; however tickets are required for entry. To reserve tickets please call 802-485-2633 or email toddlectureseries@norwich.edu.
