Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
2005 baseline year data = fiscal year 2006; 2005 baseline year population data = Academic year 2004-2005.
Population varies slightly from other FY 2013 credits (e.g. OP-5) because it includes 360 new on-campus residence beds being built in Cassell Hall and 150 beds in Nebraska Hall which will open in fall 2013. Water used in the construction of the buildings throughout the performance year is included in FY 2013 total water consumption.
Water consumption for auxiliary properties was included in this report. However, that data is not available for FY 2006 to establish a baseline. So, water consumption data for Auxiliary properties was taken from FY 2010 - FY 2013 and averaged. This average was added to the FY 2006 baseline. Current auxiliary occupancy (344 FTE) was also added to FY 2006 baseline and FY 2013 performance.
Population figures for performance year were calculated using the student headcount as of September 28, 2013 (census date of Academic Data Reference Book), and Faculty/Staff headcount as of December 1st, 2013 (census date from Director of Employee Compensation). Population figures for baseline year were calculated using the student headcount as of October 1, 2005 (census date of Academic Data Reference Book), and Faculty/Staff headcount as of September 30, 2005 (census date from Director of Employee Compensation). 344 full-time occupants of university-owned leased commercial spaces were added to the full-time, non-residential figure for both the baseline and performance year.
