A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The building energy consumption baseline was adopted to coincide with the Beloit College Sustainability Plan which states a baseline year of the 2013-14 academic year.
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
Almost all of the 90 buildings owned by the College have temperature set points regulated by our Building Automation System.
During winter months, buildings are heated to 68 degrees F
During summer months, buildings are cooled to 72 degrees F.
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
The College is installing LEDs in dormitory buildings and academic buildings as cost-effective options, rebates, and incentives become available. Currently we've already installed LEDs in one of our art galleries, and a few dormitory buildings, and several academic buildings.
