A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
On October 29, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed Executive Order No. 80 establishing new targets for GHG emissions reductions throughout North Carolina. One of the order's specific actions directs a 40% reduction in energy consumption (per square foot) at state-owned buildings by the end of fiscal year 2025 from the baseline in FY 2002-03. As such, ECU continues to pursue equipment upgrades, retrofits, and conversions, while also ensuring the campus is operated as efficiently as possible. This will include such actions as continuing to establish and maintain building operating schedules and defining optimal building operating parameters for energy intensive locations, such as research labs. These efforts, combined with continued campus community education and involvement, will continue to allow ECU to move closer to targeted reductions.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
HVAC Staff engage Energy Manager when replacing equipment to purchase most energy efficient systems that budgets will allow.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Campus-wide temperature standards for each building is posted. Where practical, lighting is on occupancy sensors.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
30,000 LED and more efficient fluorescent fixtures were installed about 5 years ago in existing buildings through an energy performance contract. New buildings have LED lighting requirements.
