A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted:
Baseline and performance energy was developed from actual utility company bills. baseline of 2009 was chosen because the major energy conservation measures were implemented beginning in 2010 to end of 2015. SJU has a web-based Utility Tracking System for all 220 utility accounts.
