A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
Most heat on campus comes from a district steam system, and the steam is created in boilers from natural gas, or recovered from the operations of natural gas fired cogeneration turbines in the form of waste heat. We do not have an exact percentage share of heat from electric, heat from natural gas, and heat from recovered waste heat.
