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

A GHG inventory was conducted in 2016 which used 2014 data. This information was used for OP2. Consumption information was also contain in this report.


Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
3

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.06 MMBtu per square foot 0.10 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year 0.08 MMBtu per square foot 0.14 MMBtu per square foot

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
27.65
