• Credit Info

Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Grid-purchased electricity	18,372.98 MMBtu	21,007.70 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site renewables	49.10 MMBtu	49.10 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)	44,680.49 MMBtu	52,856.61 MMBtu
Total	63,102.57 MMBtu	73,913.41 MMBtu

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	July 1, 2017	June 30, 2018
Baseline Year	Jan. 1, 2005	Dec. 31, 2005

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):
Gross floor area of building space:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Gross floor area of building space	776,097 Gross square feet	593,574 Gross square feet

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Site energy	0.08 MMBtu per square foot	0.12 MMBtu per square foot
Source energy	0.13 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:
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):

	Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days	6,510 Degree-Days (°F)
Cooling degree days	763 Degree-Days (°F)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:

	Floor Area
Laboratory space	30,947 Square feet
Healthcare space	1,247 Square feet
Other energy intensive space

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