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.
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity | 88,296,106 Kilowatt-hours | 301,266.31 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 84,000 Kilowatt-hours | 286.61 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
| MMBtu | |
| Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy | 178,818.38 MMBtu |
| Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water | 0 MMBtu |
Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
480,371.30
MMBtu
Baseline year building space

Baseline period
| Start date | End date | |
| Baseline period | May 1, 2010 | April 30, 2011 |
A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
For consistency the 2010-2011 academic year was used as the baseline year. This baseline was also used in other credits related to energy (e.g. GHG inventory).
Source energy
2.05
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Site energy | Source energy | |
| Performance year | 1.06 MMBtu per square meter | 1.79 MMBtu per square meter |
| Baseline year | 1.03 MMBtu per square meter | 1.72 MMBtu per square meter |
Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Optional Fields

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Concordia is developing a formal energy efficiency program which will incorporate student and staff training and outreach. Training and outreach will take place through the Staff and Faculty Sustainability Ambassadors program (under development), through the WWF-Canada Living Planet @ Campus program, and / or through other Facilities Management campaigns.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Construction standards require adhesion to standards like ASHRAE 90 to ensure superior energy efficiency in renovation and construction.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Concordia has very few non-LED lighting left. We also employ occupancy and natural light sensing to keep our lights off as much as possible.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
The MB solar wall passively heats the fresh air intake of the building in winter. It is a hybrid solar system.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
N/A
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
A conversion from natural gas to electric heating is underway and will involve substantial energy efficiency gains. We also prefer items that are Energy Star branded, when possible.
