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.
| kWh | MMBtu | |
| Imported electricity | 19,394,753 Kilowatt-hours | 66,174.90 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 132,405 Kilowatt-hours | 451.77 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
FY 2015 was the baseline year from our last greenhouse gas inventory and STARS submittal. We chose that year then as it was KSC's most complete year KSC submitted consistent energy data for the entire campus.

---
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
KSC's building automation systems regulate temperatures in most buildings based on occupancy hours in many of our buildings. In some of our older buildings, we use timers for managing exhaust hoods and fans.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Keene State College is equipped with its own team of electricians, that has been converting incandescent, metal halide, and older lighting technology with LED and other more efficient lighting fixtures throughout our campus for years. Our utility supports us in this effort with incentives and urges us to take full advantage of system benefits to do so. During 2019, KSC replaced 996 lights and fixtures with Design Light Consortium (DLC) or EnergyStar certified LED replacements, and received utility-sponsored incentives from EverSource as a result of those installations.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
The College opened its first geothermal heated/cooled residential hall in August of 2016, the Living Learning Commons. This is a 23-well system that conditions 85,546 square feet of space.
