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.

Optional Fields
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Facilities Services fully understands the relationship between building internal temperature variation as it relates to occupant comfort and productivity. With these criteria in mind, the following guidelines have been developed to assist in the understanding of our goals for providing an optimal working environment.
Heating Guidelines
During the heating season from October through April, the goal is to maintain a space temperature above 66 degrees F in campus buildings.
Cooling Guidelines
During the cooling season from May through September, the goal is to maintain a space temperature above below 78 degrees F in campus buildings.
A majority of buildings have designated occupied/unoccupied hours. In order to save energy, the building temperature will change from the normal operating set points of occupied mode. Temperatures during unoccupied periods will be approximately 62ºF during the heating season and 82ºF during the cooling season. It is highly recommended to be prepared with appropriate clothing and have extra layers available if possible.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
