Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Grid-purchased electricity | 143,695 MMBtu | 150,284 MMBtu |
Electricity from on-site renewables | 6,200 MMBtu | 0 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) | 103,462 MMBtu | 112,054 MMBtu |
Total | 253,357 MMBtu | 262,338 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | July 1, 2015 | June 30, 2016 |
Baseline Year | July 1, 2005 | June 30, 2006 |
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 | 1,415,229 Gross Square Feet | 2,886,367 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 | 0.18 MMBtu / GSF | 0.09 MMBtu / GSF |
Source energy | 0.40 MMBtu / GSF | 0.20 MMBtu / GSF |
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 | 1,188 Degree-Days (°F) |
Cooling degree days | 2,271 Degree-Days (°F) |
Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
Floor Area | |
Laboratory space | 272,164 Square Feet |
Healthcare space | 12,026 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:
Documentation (e.g. spreadsheet or utility records) to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
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 66: We use a time clock for AC1, AC2 and the boiler.
Building 97: 3 AHUs are controlled by time clocks.
Building 55: All 9 AC units are controlled by time clocks - we set back thermostats.
In addition we utilize summer 4/10 schedule.This summer work schedule change is observed in order to reduce energy costs and the university’s carbon footprint.
The 4/10 summer schedule was implemented in 2008. The goal then and every summer since implementation, has been to promote energy, utility, and environmental savings which is consistent with our environmental and renewable energy commitment and the efficient delivery of summer operations.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The campus is currently working with different types of lighting technology to determine which will be the best for the campus at large. LED is one of the technologies we are using in this evaluation.
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):
