A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
Chiller plant went in operation and we have accurate energy data.
Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Site energy | Source energy | |
| Performance year | 0.07 MMBtu per square foot | 0.21 MMBtu per square foot |
| Baseline year | 0.08 MMBtu per square foot | 0.22 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
The Sustainability office works close with the green ambassadors, a student group involved in sustainability projects as " implementing a greenhouse on our campus as well as cleaning the Bayou.
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
We have implemented occupancy-based technology temperature controls in three buildings and have the capacity to expand. Buildings currently using the Niagra/Trends Building Automation System include Bayou Studios, Christ-Janer Center, and the Student Health Services. All set-back temperatures are scheduled according to building demand use schedules. The percentage of interior building space with temperature control equals 100% for these buildings, excluding non-conditioned, open courtyards.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
An expansion of exterior campus lighting was completed using exterior LED lighting mounted on single-family homes used for student housing. LED lighting for a number of exterior plazas, parking lots, and pedestrian pathways has been implemented to improve exterior lighting and assist in lighting areas under camera survellience.
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:
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
