A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The energy consumption baseline was adopted at the time of the energy management system installation.
None
A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:
The university employs a standard of 70 degrees for a heating temperature set point and 74 degrees for a cooling temperature set point. Systems used to monitor and control standards are Honeywell XBS, Traine Tracer Summit and Sq. D Powerlink.
None
A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:
LED lighting is used in approximately 80% of all lighting at the Crossland House on-campus residence, Throughout the gallery spaces at the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts, and is being implemented throughout campus as feasibility and funding allow.
None
A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:
The University uses Wattstopper Occupancy sensors (dual technology) throughout the entire campus.
None
