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.

Electricity use, baseline year (report kWh):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity 13,928,678 Kilowatt-hours 47,524.65 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) 0 Kilowatt-hours 0 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy 834 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 17,630 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
65,988.65 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
1,124,247 Gross square feet

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):
Start date End date
Baseline period May 1, 2006 April 30, 2007

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
This is the first year after 2005 for which we have complete and reliable data.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
2

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.05 MMBtu per square foot 0.09 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year 0.06 MMBtu per square foot 0.10 MMBtu per square foot

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
12.06

Optional Fields 

Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
---

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
The key to continuous improvement in energy efficiency lies in the monitoring of the building's electrical and mechanical equipment. All of this equipment is connected to a centralized management system that allows for programming and remote control (real-time measurement, instantaneous detection of failures, modification of set points, etc.). The ÉTS uses Metasys from Johnson Controls, among others.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Presence detectors in almost every location on campus.

A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Underneath the Phase III residence are 18 geothermal wells that reduce the total energy consumption of the Phase III and IV residences. This field of geothermal wells is part of a larger energy efficiency system for the Phase III and IV residences that also includes the recovery of heat rejected by the refrigerators of the Metro grocery store located in the Phase III residences.

A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
---

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Note on geothermal energy: The amount of energy from geothermal energy is estimated by comparing the energy consumption (GJ/m2) between the student residence buildings connected to the geothermal well system and the student residence buildings not connected to the geothermal well system.
