A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

We adopted the baseline year of 2007 when we files our initial carbon inventory reports with the New York City Carbon Challenge. We switched the baseline year in the STARS report from 2005 to 2007 to be consistent with our NYC filings.
