• Credit Info

Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Grid-purchased electricity	63,841 MMBtu	65,040 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site renewables	0 MMBtu	0 MMBtu
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite)	7,088 MMBtu	7,088 MMBtu
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass)	55,843 MMBtu	74,065 MMBtu
Total	126,772 MMBtu	146,193 MMBtu

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2016	July 1, 2017
Baseline Year	July 1, 2014	July 1, 2015

A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area of building space	127,029.62 Gross square meters	127,029.62 Gross square meters

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Site energy	1 MMBtu per square meter	1.15 MMBtu per square meter
Source energy	2.08 MMBtu per square meter	2.26 MMBtu per square meter

Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):

	Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days	2,359.44 Degree-Days (°C)
Cooling degree days	828.89 Degree-Days (°C)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
