organizing team at each school plans its own set of marketing strategies and competition events to spread awareness. In addition to holding the national competition, CCN also holds a poster competition for the "most innovative outreach poster" used in their campaigns. Throughout the competitions, data can be viewed by all students on their school's
Building Dashboard page, which shows each campus building's energy consumption across different time scales, the percent reduction in energy consumption so far, and more. At the end of the national competition run, from February to April, the data from every participating school is compared.

Campuses can hold individual competitions, which involves campus buildings competing to have the highest reduction (by percent) of electricity and/or water compared to a previously-set baseline. Many campuses also participate in a group competition, competing against other schools in their region. Campus Conservation Nationals 2015 marks the fifth year of the competition. Recent years' competitions resulted in an overall energy savings of over 2 million

The settings can be changed to display energy usage over a certain time period: the month, the week, or the day. If a competition is happening, students can view which campus building has saved the most energy thus far on their school's main

This data is monitored by meters in the buildings, collected by or input into Lucid's BuildingOS, then represented visually on Building Dashboard. Lucid Design Group provides its software to give schools a way to visualize and keep track of their resource usage.
