A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:

We chose the baseline year simply because it was the same year that we used for the baseline for our ghg inventory.


A brief description of any building temperature standards employed by the institution:

A Johnson MetaSys BAS system monitors and controls space temp and other subsystems across the campus, withthe exception of two small buildings. (~ 427KGSF is on the BAS )


A brief description of any light emitting diode (LED) lighting employed by the institution:

Our outdoor wall pak lights are converted to LED as they are replaced. All future wallpaks will be LED.


A brief description of any occupancy and/or vacancy sensors employed by the institution:

PIR sensors are used in several of our buildings, but many buildings have not yet seen lighting/lamping/control upgrades.
Timers and lighting sensors are used on our road and walkway lighting.


A brief description of any passive solar heating employed by the institution:
---

A brief description of any ground-source heat pumps employed by the institution:
---

A brief description of any cogeneration technologies employed by the institution:

We have no co-generation


A brief description of any building recommissioning or retrofit program employed by the institution:
---

A brief description of any energy metering and management systems employed by the institution:

A Johnson-Metasys system, operated by BOC-certified staff, monitors and/or controls various functions across campus including: HVAC, some exterior lighting, wastewater, domestic H/W, kitchen coolers, kitchen hoods, power meters.


A brief description of the institution's program to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives:

We are in the midst of adopting and Energy Star purchasing requirement for all appliances where that qualification is available.


A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
---
