| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Total building energy consumption | 1,503,452.60 MMBtu | 1,297,427.40 MMBtu |
None
Purchased electricity and steam:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 767,865 MMBtu | 766,314 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
None

| Floor Area | |
| Laboratory space | 274,270 Square feet |
| Healthcare space | 106,880 Square feet |
| Other energy intensive space |
None
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F)::
| Degree days (see help icon above) | |
| Heating degree days | 674 |
| Cooling degree days | 4,143 |
None
Source-site ratios::
| Source-Site Ratio (see help icon above) | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 2.05 |
| District steam/hot water | 1.56 |
None
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods)::
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | July 1, 2013 | June 30, 2014 |
| Baseline Year | July 1, 2007 | June 30, 2008 |
None
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The FY 2007-08 baseline year reflects the first year of reliable consumption data.
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
After hours, where possible, HVAC systems are shut down or perform at a greatly reduced capacity. In addition, most room temperatures are controlled within a standard range based on the type of systems and specific environmental requirements.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
Our exterior lighting standard for new construction is LED. Some offices and classrooms are LED where financially feasible.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
Sensors are used extensively throughout the campus. They are used for both lighting and HVAC systems in many buildings.
None
A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
The natatorium at the Leach Recreation Center uses 166 solar thermal panels for pool heating. The system is capable of providing all pool heat during warmer months as well as a fraction of the heat during cooler months.
None
A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
The OGZEB building used ground-source heat pumps for building heating. The Morcom swimming facility uses ground-source heat pumps for pool heating.
None
A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:
n/a
None
A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
We continually recommission buildings to extract additional energy savings while maintaining the appropriate environmental conditions for the spaces.
None
A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:
Our controls systems are much more advanced than timers. We have a sophisticated scheduling process that incorporates class schedules and events into a database. Buildings systems are scheduled based on occupancy. Buildings employ either an ON/OFF or temperature set back process depending upon the type of building and the specific requirements of each occupant.
None
A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
The University upgrades energy consuming appliances and systems with high efficiency alternatives when the savings demonstrate a payback of 7 years or less.
None
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
n/a
None
A brief description of any vending machine sensors, lightless machines, or LED-lit machines employed by the institution:
The new generation of vending machines on campus provided by Coca-Cola are equipped with modern compressor management and lighting control systems.
None
A brief description of other energy conservation and efficiency initiatives employed by the institution:
The University has reduced its kBtu/sq ft for the past 5 years through a variety of retro-commissioning projects, event scheduling, equipment upgrades, and automated control system improvements.
