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 5,603,578.70 Kilowatt-hours 19,119.41 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) 11,073 Kilowatt-hours 37.78 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy 5,582.50 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 362.02 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
25,101.71 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
55,422.92 Gross square meters

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We attach to this credit the excel "OP 5-Energy Efficiency of Buildings" to explain and show how we consider our 4 campuses in the calculations.

PART 1:
1. Calculate the parameter* separately for each of the campuses
2. Obtain a single value of the parameter*, through an area weighted average for the 4 campuses (cell I22). This value is 91.66 Btu / GSM / Degree-day (°C).
3. We "search" for the value of the parameter "Total degree-day" that allows us to obtain the value calculated in point 2. The "Goal Seek" tool in excel is used to "find" the value of "Total degree-days" which gives us as a result the "Total energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI adjusted floor area per degree-day" calculated in cell I22. The total degree-days value found is: 4.028 (°C).
4. We divide the value calculated in point 3 ("total degree-days") by "cooling degree-days" plus "heating degree-days".

Parameter*: Total energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree-day.

PART 2:
Since 95% of the electricity purchased at IESE comes from Europe, we consider a source ratio of 2.
Imported electricity by campus, performance year (kWh):
Barcelona: 3,953,789.34
Madrid: 2,072,878.00
Munich: 72,821.67
New York: 350,400
TOTAL: (3,953,789.34 + 2,072,878.00 + 72,821.67 + 350,400) = 6,449,889.01
Energy consumption in European countries: (6,449,889.01- 350,400)/ 6,449,889.01 = 95%.
For this reason, we consider a source ratio of 2.
