Grid-purchased electricity 87,792 MMBtu 87,813.80 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site renewables 0 MMBtu 0 MMBtu
District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) 0 MMBtu 0 MMBtu
Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) 277,067 MMBtu 258,474.40 MMBtu
Total 364,859 MMBtu 346,288.20 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 June 30, 2017
Baseline Year July 1, 2006 June 30, 2007

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):

2007 was the year we first did our greenhouse gas inventory
Starting in 2016 we purchased 100% renewable energy (RECS)


Gross floor area of building space:
Performance Year Baseline Year
Gross floor area of building space 2,784,834 Gross square feet 2,638,928 Gross square feet

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
3.14

Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Performance Year Baseline Year
Site energy 0.13 MMBtu per square foot 0.13 MMBtu per square foot
Source energy 0.20 MMBtu per square foot 0.20 MMBtu per square foot

Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
1.95

Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):
Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days 7,931 Degree-Days (°F)
Cooling degree days 286 Degree-Days (°F)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
Floor Area
Laboratory space 27,456 Square feet
Healthcare space 0 Square feet
Other energy intensive space

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
2,840,883 Gross square feet

Building energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree day, performance year:

Documentation (e.g. spreadsheet or utility records) to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
---

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):

Buildings are monitored and programmed using Johnson Controls Metasys system. Building usage is monitored by staff and temperatures regulated based on occupancy.


A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

The seating area in the west lobby of the natural resources building is LED lighting. There are LED lights on the marquee of the health enhancement center. LED lighting was installed in two of our parking lots.


A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:

Thermal solar panels on many residence halls to heat domestic water


A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):

n/a


A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):
