Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
EMU started curbing our energy consumption in the late 70s and have continued to reduce consumption from: Year GSF MMBTUs MMBTU/GSF 80-81 378650 50,900 0.134 80-82 378650 46,900 0.124 80-83 378650 44,400 0.117 99-00 458,304 38,295 0.084 00-01 571,904 42,279 0.074 01-02 571,904 32,566 0.057 04-05 674277 32,529 0.048 11-12 681529 28,473 0.042 EMU long ago picked off the low hanging fruit, so our reduction is much less significant than it was a decade or two ago. Our rate of consumption ranks near the top of residential colleges in our climate zone (4A) in APPA data.
