Fellow Profile
Joanna Calabrese
University of Maryland - College Park, MD

The "University of Maryland Behavior Modification through Departmental Energy Report Cards" project will promote energy conservation in select University of Maryland campus buildings. Joanna will partner with departmental leadership to share data about current building usage, set reduction goals, provide education about the energy being used, share conservation strategies, and develop incentives for participation. Over time, this pilot program will be expanded to include a department's total carbon footprint, reporting carbon emissions from energy use, business travel, commuting and other carbon-intensive practices.
