Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 37,383 MMBtu | 34,076 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 3,913 MMBtu | 3,524 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 45,661 MMBtu | 37,202 MMBtu |
| Total | 86,957 MMBtu | 74,802 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | March 1, 2018 | Feb. 28, 2019 |
| Baseline Year | March 1, 2017 | Feb. 28, 2018 |
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
These time periods most accurately depict the current status of our campus from a building standpoint and include the most reliable energy data.
Gross floor area of building space:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area of building space | 1,485,120 Gross square feet | 1,196,426 Gross square feet |
Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
3.14
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Site energy | 0.06 MMBtu per square foot | 0.06 MMBtu per square foot |
| Source energy | 0.11 MMBtu per square foot | 0.12 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
8.95

Optional Fields
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
Office of Sustainability runs several occupant engagement and behavior change campaigns focused on building energy use. Outreach and education through newsletter and targeted campus outreach with energy saving tips for academic breaks and seasonal shifts.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
BMS through Johnson Controls with setpoints, setbacks and occupancy/vacancy utilized;
Energy Manager through SchoolDude for tracking and reporting;
Piloting CopperTree Building Analytics for preventative maintenance and diagnostics;
Temperature Policy and Green Building Standards.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Entire campus (buildings and exterior) is almost completely retrofitted with LED lighting and controls as well as occupancy and vacancy sensors.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
Exploring onsite CHP opportunity.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):
Pursing energy conservation measures and retro-commissioning across campus building portfolio on a continuous basis.
