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	28,018,414.91 Kilowatt-hours	95,598.83 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems)	1,133,423.05 Kilowatt-hours	3,867.24 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

	MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy	61,446 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water	0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:

160,912.07 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:

281,066.97 Gross square meters

Baseline period

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

	Start date	End date
Baseline period	June 1, 2007	May 31, 2008

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:

---

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

3.14

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Site energy	Source energy
Performance year	0.45 MMBtu per square meter	1 MMBtu per square meter
Baseline year	0.57 MMBtu per square meter	1.30 MMBtu per square meter

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

23.34

Optional Fields

Documentation 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:

energy contests, green awareness, email campaigns, outreach, education, retrofits, schedule changes, green office program

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:

Loyola Marymount University has timers for temperature control within the campus based off class schedules and office hours of the professors. This energy management system allows the university to schedule building temperature depending on its occupancy.

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

LED lighting is currently used around the campus in landscaping, and landscaping features such as Shea Terrace. In the past two years, there have been two complete building changeouts to LED. Two parking structures have upgraded their lighting to LED along with all parking lot and street lighting. Loyola Marymount University is continuing to introduce LED lighting across the entire campus.

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

N/A

A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:

N/A

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:

As things burn out, standardize with efficient LED lights, energy star, progressive energy saving switches, systems, standards for high efficiency.
