Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The posted energy consumption numbers for 2005 and the performance year, 2012, use the normalized electricity and normalized heat sources usage amount given in kWh/sf and BTU/sf respectively, given by the "Utility Usage for the Pittsburgh Campus" page of the Carnegie Mellon Factbook 2010 - 11. The electricity consumption is converted using the factor, 1 kWh = 3412.3 BTu, added to heat source usage (BTu), and multiplied by the total area served (sf) to calculate the total building energy consumption. The numbers given in the Factbook accounts for the fiscal year starting on July 1, 2004 and ending on June 31, 2005, and the fiscal year starting on July 1, 2011 and ending on June 31, 2012.
