Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 64,811.32 MMBtu | 69,513.22 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 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) | 65,427.44 MMBtu | 85,030.19 MMBtu |
| Total | 130,238.76 MMBtu | 154,543.41 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | July 1, 2015 | June 30, 2016 |
| Baseline Year | July 1, 2008 | June 30, 2009 |
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):
The baseline year of FY2009 was decided up on as this was the year that the Climate Action Plan and Sustainability Plan were being developed.

Optional Fields
---
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):
CLC sends out biweekly Sust'y eBlast emails in which faculty and staff share their own personal stories about what they are doing or contributing to make the college more sustainable. Messages often include initiatives to remind people to turn their computers and printers off at night, and especially during breaks.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
---
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
CLC has been replacing metal hallide and flourescent lighting with LED fixtures. This is an incremental process, beginning with our oldest buildings being renovated and in the new construction areas. Currently we received a grant to help fund conversion of lighting in parking lots and internal roadways to LED.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
CLC is currently rolling out its master plan construction. In the fall 2016, our gothermal heat exchange system came on line, with 80 wells drilled 500 ft deep. In the fall 2017, we expect 47 new wells to come on line to heat and cool the new Science Building, when it opens.
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):
CLC has been working with SEDAC for retro-commissioning reports on our HVAC systems. These reports help facilities staff to decide when and where to install upgrades to make our systems more efficient.
