Total energy consumption (all sources, transportation fuels excluded), performance year:
Clean and renewable energy from the following sources::
| Performance Year | |
| Option 1: Clean and renewable electricity generated on-site during the performance year and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes | 0.15 MMBtu |
| Option 2: Non-electric renewable energy generated on-site | 3,698.74 MMBtu |
| Option 3: Clean and renewable electricity generated by off-site projects that the institution catalyzed and for which the institution retains or has retired the associated environmental attributes | 0 MMBtu |
| Option 4: Purchased third-party certified RECs and similar renewable energy products (including renewable electricity purchased through a certified green power purchasing option) | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Solar Panels at the Miller Center:
The system is 40,768 w, and has 182 PV modules, with an energy production of 44,880 kWh = .1530188375 MMBtu

A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
There is geothermal heating and cooling for Perry, Juniper, Valcour, Butler, & Whiting

Used the following:
Hourly flow data (GPM)
Hourly Delta-T (inlet and outlet)
For each hour I calculated BTU/hr:
BTU/hr = GPM x Delta-T x 500
Then I added the yearly BTU/hr (8760 hrs/yr) values to determine total yearly energy usage.
MMBtu = BTU / 1,000,000
For the Delta-T figure, I used the average from a 24 hours span (Feb 28-29) at Perry Hall and used this figure for all buildings.
GPM Average Hourly Delta-T BTU/Hour BTU/year MMBTU/year
