Figures needed to determine total building energy consumption:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Grid-purchased electricity | 28,793.50 MMBtu | 29,097.80 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) | 43,683.10 MMBtu | 55,179.90 MMBtu |
Total | 72,476.60 MMBtu | 84,277.70 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | Sept. 1, 2016 | Aug. 31, 2017 |
Baseline Year | Sept. 1, 2014 | Aug. 31, 2015 |
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):
---
Gross floor area of building space:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Gross floor area of building space | 1,106,011 Gross square feet | 1,000,000 Gross square feet |

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):
Various events at the College include information on energy efficiency. In particular, our local energy providers (Orange and Rockland and Central Hudson) participate in our Earth Day celebrations. They provide ample information and give out energy efficient light bulbs etc.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
The college utilizes a campus wide energy management system, regulating temperatures based on usage throughout the year.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
LED lighting has been installed throughout both campuses and motion sensors are installed where feasible.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Our LEED Gold buildings (3 in all) include passive solar heating features in the designs. No geothermal systems.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
N/A
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):
As boilers and other larger energy-consuming appliances are replaced, the College always will replace with high efficiency alternatives.
