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 | 95,813,599.92 Kilowatt-hours | 326,916 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems) | 0 Kilowatt-hours | 0 MMBtu |
Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
This baseline was adopted this year. In order to continue to challenge our campus to improve energy performance, we wanted to adjust the baseline to a more recent year, but still show several years of trend analysis. Also, a significant energy reduction project was completed prior to 2015, so we wanted our new baseline to include that performance level.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
MSU is developing an energy dashboard to publicize the EUI for the campus to show annual trends. The dashboard will also include building specific data and recommendations for students, faculty and staff to continually reduce energy usage. The EUI is a key performance indicator for the university.
A student is currently in the process of developing a new residence life sustainability guide to highlight specific actions residence can take to reduce energy consumption in their rooms.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
The temperature of academic buildings is set according to occupied or unoccupied mode, depending upon time of day and class scheduling. When the building is occupied, temperature range is 70-75 degrees. In unoccupied mode, the summer maximum is 80 degrees and the winter minimum is 60 degrees.
Motion-activated occupancy sensors control lights in several areas of campus buildings, including classrooms, hallways, conference rooms, break rooms, offices, study rooms and restrooms. Some of the new buildings also include daylight harvest sensors for indoor lighting systems.
There are also some motion-activated sensors that control HVAC equipment.
All outdoor lighting systems have installed either a photocell, a timer or are linked with the building automation system.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
MSU has been retrofitting lighting systems with LED in both outdoor applications (parking lots, pedestrian lights, underpass, etc.) and indoor spaces such as classrooms, offices, theaters, athletic venues, gym, etc.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
We are utilizing a geothermal heat pump system at Kit Bond Learning Center.
Examples of sustainable principles incorporated into building renovations and new construction include lighting and daylighting, increased insulation values, control of solar gain at windows and installation of white roofs.
We have a small solar charging station and a Solar Bike Stop.

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
The university has an approved ENERGY STAR Certified Purchasing Policy. The policy recommends selecting U.S. EPA Energy Star Certified products and appliances for any new purchases and to consider the environmental impact of the product.
