Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Grid-purchased electricity | 115,058 MMBtu | 105,515.64 MMBtu |
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) | 210,145 MMBtu | 308,245.06 MMBtu |
Total | 325,203 MMBtu | 413,760.70 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | June 1, 2018 | May 31, 2019 |
Baseline Year | Jan. 1, 2005 | Dec. 31, 2005 |
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 baseline for each building depends upon when the submetering system was operational. To the largest extent possible, we try to utilize 2007 as that is the benchmank year for our climate committments.
Gross floor area of building space:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Gross floor area of building space | 2,676,992 Gross Square Feet | 2,300,000 Gross Square Feet |
Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Site energy | 0.12 MMBtu / GSF | 0.18 MMBtu / GSF |
Source energy | 0.21 MMBtu / GSF | 0.28 MMBtu / GSF |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
Degree days, performance year (base 65 °F / 18 °C):
Degree days (see help icon above) | |
Heating degree days | 7,159 Degree-Days (°F) |
Cooling degree days | 710 Degree-Days (°F) |
Floor area of energy intensive space, performance year:
Floor Area | |
Laboratory space | 131,912 Square Feet |
Healthcare space | 2,908 Square Feet |
Other energy intensive space |
EUI-adjusted floor area, performance year:
Building energy consumption (site energy) per unit of EUI-adjusted floor area per degree day, performance year:
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 brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
We continue to regularly upgrade one to two building every year to more energy efficient lighting with daylighting.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Peggy Ryan Williams utilizes ground-source geothermal for heating and cooling
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):
The college is working to implement a retro-commissioning program, with our initial focus on our most energy-intensive buildings.
