Grid-purchased electricity 305,975 MMBtu
+ Date Revised: March 5, 2020
303,479 MMBtu
+ Date Revised: March 5, 2020
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) 464,657 MMBtu
+ Date Revised: March 5, 2020
561,945 MMBtu
+ Date Revised: March 5, 2020
Total 770,632 MMBtu 865,424 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, 2012 June 30, 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):

The 2013 baseline is being adopted because it was the last year a GHG inventory was taken.


Gross floor area of building space:

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):

None


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

Average building set-point is 68-72 degrees during occupancy times.


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

The North University Parking Garage installed 60 LED lamps on the first and second floors of the garage.


A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:

None.


A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):

None


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):

None.
