Does the institution meter all energy consumption (electricity, natural gas, purchased steam, etc.) for at least one building?:
A brief description of the metering system:
The initiative to install meters in the majority of campus building, growing out of the Climate Action Plan, is key to efforts to better manage energy usage at the individual building level, providing the essential engineering data as well as setting up the possibility of new financial incentives for Schools and Centers at Penn. Facilities and Real Estate Services (FRES) is beginning to accumulate sufficient data to evaluate the impact of billing Schools and Centers based on their actual building-specific energy usage, instead of the long-standing engineering calculation methodology based primarily on square footage and use type. This methodology will create, for the first time, financial incentives for energy conservation by the Schools and Centers. This comprehensive metering effort will be complete by the end of FY14.
The percentage of building space with energy metering:
