Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 31,744.78 MMBtu | 43,920.40 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 12,989 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 111,120 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Total | 142,864.78 MMBtu | 56,909.40 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | July 1, 2019 | June 30, 2020 |
| Baseline Year | Jan. 1, 2013 | Dec. 31, 2013 |
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):
Here baseline was considered to be 2013 since it was the last time extensive data collection was done
Gross floor area of building space:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area of building space | 1,625,626 Gross square feet | 1,042,708 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 | 0.09 MMBtu per square foot | 0.05 MMBtu per square foot |
| Source energy | 0.13 MMBtu per square foot | 0.15 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
11.91

Optional Fields
---
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):
Building temperatures are 72 in the occupied mode and 55-60 in unoccupied. The times for these modes vary on building and space. We do have sensors that turn the HVAC systems from occupied mode to unoccupied in the labs of Palenske, Putnam, and Kresge science. Metering for the majority of campus is done through central meters in the facilities building.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Approximately 1/10 of owned exterior lighting has been replaced with or converted to LED.
Interior QH lighting being phased out and convereted to LED.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
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):
Retro-commissioning is ongoing in several buildings. Ferguson Building and Science complex labs have been completed.
