The Campus Energy Use Intensity Task Force, which was convened by the STARS Steering Committee in April 2025 to make specific and practical recommendations for how STARS 3.1 should assess and score campus energy efficiency, has now completed its recommendations. Composed of 6 individuals with experience in energy reporting, management and/or benchmarking, the Task Force reviewed concerns about the way campus energy efficiency is assessed in STARS 3.0 and considered a wide variety of possible alternatives in developing its recommendations.
The recommendations are now under consideration by the STARS Steering Committee. If you have suggestions or feedback related to these recommendations, please feel free to share them with us at stars@aashe.org.
