Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 133,961.56 MMBtu | 101,703.82 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) | 181,819.46 MMBtu | 145,308 MMBtu |
| Total | 315,781.02 MMBtu | 247,011.82 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |

Optional Fields
---
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):
The Sustainability Manager, sustainability interns, and sustainability student employees conduct education and outreach programming around energy use. This includes new employee orientation, class and group presentations, energy competitions in the residence halls, annual "sustainable behaviors on campus" publication, LEED building publications for all new residents, tabling at on campus events, and special events.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
In new buildings and major renovations, temperature controls are adjustable within a 4 degree range (2 up, 2 down). Additionally, rooms are equipped with occupancy sensors and some with CO2 sensors.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
All new parking lot lights are LED. New capital construction will include LED lighting – with exception for specialty lighting. All new Parking.
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, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
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):
