Total energy consumption (electric and non-electric)

Total energy consumption, performance year:
236,650.04 MMBtu

Clean and renewable energy sources

Clean and renewable electricity

Clean and renewable electricity (report kilowatt-hours):
kWh MMBtu
Imported electricity from certified/verified clean and renewable sources (i.e., bundled green power purchases) 909,185 Kilowatt-hours 3,102.14 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, clean and renewable sources (rights retained/retired) 25,000 Kilowatt-hours 85.30 MMBtu

A brief description of the certified/verified sources of clean and renewable electricity:
A portion of our electricity is purchased through the NYPA Recharge NY program. This program provides renewable hydroelectricity to Pace University.

A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
We installed 20 KW of solar photoelectric panels on the Environmental House or EHouse at the White Plains Campus. This system produces 25,000 kWh of electricity. This represents about 50% of the building's electricity usage.

Clean and renewable thermal energy

Clean and renewable thermal energy (report MMBtu):
MMBtu
Clean and renewable stationary fuels used on-site to generate thermal energy 629 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources 0 MMBtu

A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
We use 5% Biodiesel blend, the 629 MMBTUs represents 5% of our total MMBTU on oil.
