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 29,936,000 Kilowatt-hours 102,141.63 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) 162,233.82 Kilowatt-hours 553.54 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy 92,162.96 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
194,858.13 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
243,478.15 Gross square meters

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):
Start date End date
Baseline period Jan. 1, 2019 Dec. 31, 2019

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:

The baseline was 3 years from the reporting year when data collection began for this current STARS submission.


Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
2

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.76 MMBtu per square meter 1.14 MMBtu per square meter
Baseline year 0.80 MMBtu per square meter 1.22 MMBtu per square meter

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:
6.80

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:

An annual residence energy conservation challenge is held in the winter semester; 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:

Fanshawe's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Road map and Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan are guiding document for energy/GHG reduction at the College.

Fanshawe's building automation system encompasses energy reduction, metering, indoor air quality:

Temperature and lighting are controlled in all buildings using a combination of both occupancy sensors and time of day scheduling. 

Energy and water consumption are meterered individually for the majority of buildings on campus. Few buildings are combined. Presently data is collected in a Real Time Operating System
All new buildings are designed to be compatible with our automation system

Tempterature, humidity and CO2 are monitored as per ASHRAE Standard Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality 62-1999 and 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:
