Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Grid-purchased electricity | 9,380.14 MMBtu | 9,380.14 MMBtu |
Electricity from on-site renewables | 0 MMBtu | 0 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) | 15,058 MMBtu | 18,592 MMBtu |
Total | 24,438.14 MMBtu | 27,972.14 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | July 1, 2016 | June 30, 2017 |
Baseline Year | July 1, 2015 | June 30, 2016 |
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):
---
Gross floor area of building space:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Gross floor area of building space | 343,491 Gross square feet | 325,182 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 | 0.07 MMBtu per square foot | 0.09 MMBtu per square foot |
Source energy | 0.13 MMBtu per square foot | 0.15 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
12.29
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):
Degree days (see help icon above) | |
Heating degree days | 4,868 Degree-Days (°F) |
Cooling degree days | 1,022 Degree-Days (°F) |
Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
Floor Area | |
Laboratory space | 79,200 Square feet |
Healthcare space | 0 Square feet |
Other energy intensive space |
EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
630,411
Gross square feet
Building energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree day, performance year:
6.58
Btu / GSF / Degree-Day (°F)
Documentation (e.g. spreadsheet or utility records) 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 (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
---
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
All AC systems are set at 72 degrees; heat set at 70 degrees. Maintenance regularly monitors controls.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Eureka College is changing most lighting to LED. Buildings and light fixtures that include LED lighting already include: Sanders Hall, Reagan Museum, outdoor light posts, Alumni Hall flood lights (dormitory), and the first floor of Langston Dormitory. Eureka College has plans to add LED lights to Melick Library in the next 1-2 years.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Two buildings (Sanders Hall - academic and Arnold Hall-residential) have geothermal systems. They heat/cool these buildings to 50 degrees and electricity is used to heat anything higher than 50 degrees.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
NA
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):
Eureka College is planning on replacing AC units to more energy efficient models in the Cerf Center (Student Union) in 2018.
