10.58 Btu / GSF / Degree-Day (°F)

Part 2. Reduction in source energy use per unit of floor area

Baseline year energy consumption

STARS 2.2 requires electricity data in kilowatt-hours (kWh). If a baseline has already been established in a previous version of STARS and the institution wishes to continue using it, the electricity data must be re-entered in kWh. To convert existing electricity figures from MMBtu to kWh, simply multiply by 293.07107 MMBtu/kWh.

Electricity use, baseline year (report kWh):

	kWh	MMBtu
Imported electricity	4,422,000 Kilowatt-hours	15,087.86 MMBtu
Electricity from on-site, non-combustion facilities/devices (e.g., renewable energy systems)	0 Kilowatt-hours	0 MMBtu

Stationary fuels and thermal energy, baseline year (report MMBtu):

	MMBtu
Stationary fuels used on-site to generate electricity and/or thermal energy	27,013 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water	0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:

42,100.86 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:

460,000 Gross square feet

Baseline period

Start and end dates of the baseline year (or 3-year period):

	Start date	End date
Baseline period	July 1, 2007	June 30, 2008

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

FY 2008 is the Baseline year for prior STARS submissions

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:

	Site energy	Source energy
Performance year	0.08 MMBtu per square foot	0.13 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year	0.09 MMBtu per square foot	0.16 MMBtu per square foot

Metric used in scoring for Part 2

Percentage reduction in total source energy consumption per unit of floor area from baseline:

14.60

Optional Fields

Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:

---

A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:

Required core course ES 100 Ecology and the Environmental Challenge requires all students to perform project-based research, often focusing on efficiency and resource conservation. The Center for Sustainable Communities conducts awareness campaigns on energy use and efficiency. Purchasing Policies require energy efficiency as a primary criterion for all equipment purchases
All Job Descriptions include conservation training.

A brief description of energy use standards and controls 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 Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:

LED conversion Project 3500 fixtures replaced

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:

We have no co-generation

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

Nearly all heating boilers have been upgraded to maximal efficiency units, All appliances maximal energy saver models.
