A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
This baseline year was used because it was the initiation of the SB 350, De León. Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015. The Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act (Senate Bill 350) established clean energy, clean air, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, including reducing GHGs. In addition, Fresno State University sought the CSU Sustainability Policies Climate Action Plan 1, 2 & Energy Procurement 3.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Site energy | Source energy | |
| Performance year | 0.57 MMBtu per square foot | 0.66 MMBtu per square foot |
| Baseline year | 0.81 MMBtu per square foot | 0.96 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
