Electricity from on-site renewables 66.40 MMBtu 40.10 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) 74,163.59 MMBtu 75,922.46 MMBtu
Total 170,890.54 MMBtu 173,346.63 MMBtu

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date End Date
Performance Year Jan. 1, 2016 Dec. 31, 2016
Baseline Year Jan. 1, 2013 Dec. 31, 2013

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 218,652.60 Gross square meters 213,833.16 Gross square meters

Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
2.05

Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Performance Year Baseline Year
Site energy 0.07 MMBtu per square meter 0.08 MMBtu per square meter
Source energy 1.25 MMBtu per square meter 0.12 MMBtu per square meter

Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
3.35

Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):
Degree days (see help icon above)
Heating degree days 3,658.33 Degree-Days (°C)
Cooling degree days 345.56 Degree-Days (°C)

Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
Floor Area
Laboratory space 33,961.81 Square meters
Healthcare space ---
Other energy intensive space

EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
286,576.21 Gross square meters

Building energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree day, performance year:
45.97 Btu / GSM / Degree-Day (°C)

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 residence energy conservation challenge is held every winter; our internal digital display boards have an ad requesting input if someone notices wastage or areas we can improve


A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):

There are timers for temperature control in all buildings on campus. Timers are set using a combination of both occupancy sensors and time of day scheduling. EBCx CFR Documents indicate temperature standards.


A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

All new fixtures are LED. Any time a room is renovated or a new building is constructed, all fixtures are LED.


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):
---

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):

Completed EBCx in 6 buildings in 2016, B, D, H, M & Z
