Part 2. Reduction in source energy use per unit of floor area

Baseline year energy consumption

STARS 2.2 requires electricity data in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If a baseline has already been established in a previous version of STARS and the institution wishes to continue using it, the electricity data must be re-entered in kWh. To convert existing electricity figures from MMBtu to kWh, simply multiply by 293.07107 MMBtu/kWh.

Electricity use, baseline year (report kWh):

	kWh	MMBtu
Imported electricity	39,705,249 Kilowatt-hours	135,474.31 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems)	1,513,864 Kilowatt-hours	5,165.30 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

	MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy	1,343,140 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water	0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:

1,483,779.61 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:

1,822,182 Gross square feet

Baseline period

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

	Start date	End date
Baseline period	July 1, 2015	June 30, 2016

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:

This baseline year was used because it was the initiation of the SB 350, De León. Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015. The Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act (Senate Bill 350) established clean energy, clean air, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, including reducing GHGs. In addition, Fresno State University sought the CSU Sustainability Policies Climate Action Plan 1, 2 & Energy Procurement 3.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Site energy	Source energy
Performance year	0.57 MMBtu per square foot	0.66 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year	0.81 MMBtu per square foot	0.96 MMBtu per square foot

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

31.52
