The percentage of thermal energy consumption reduced as a result of retrofits and renovations completed within the past three years:
8

The combined gross square footage of all buildings that were constructed or underwent renovations in the past three years that are ENERGY STAR labeled:
86,000

The names of all buildings that were constructed or underwent renovations in the past three years that are ENERGY STAR labeled:
Please note that Stanford's building portfolio, mostly mixed-use laboratory buildings, is not compatible with ENERGY STAR ratings. The Olmsted Terrace Faculty Homes & Olmsted Road Staff Rentals, however, include the following ENERGY STAR features: (1) ENERGY STAR building envelopes (exceeding State of California energy standards by at least 15%) (2) ENERGY STAR appliance packages and low-flow toilets

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Please note that Stanford completed a lot of retrofit work prior to 3 years ago. Stanford's energy management portfolio includes a Whole Building Energy Retrofit Program (WBERP), an Energy Retrofit Program (ERP), Sustainable IT programs, and other demand-side management activities. For more information, please visit the following website: http://sustainable.stanford.edu/energy_initiatives Over the last three years (2009, 2010, and 2011), significant projects include: - Forsythe (WBERP) - Avery Pool (ERP) - Cantor (WBERP) - Alumni Center (WBERP – window film) - Beckman (WBERP) - Green West (WBERP) - Gilbert (WBERP) - New Psych (ERP – lighting) - Parking Structures (ERP – lighting) The savings from the above-listed projects totals $2.1 million per year. Other ERP projects from the past three years total and additional $2.3 million. In addition, Stanford's behavior-based Building Level Sustainability Program (BLSP) has decreased campus energy consumption. Since 2009, pilot BLSP implementation in 14 campus buildings resulted in up to a 20% reduction in electricity consumption with an average payback in just 9 months. If all buildings achieved the pilot average 8% electricity savings, Stanford's cost savings could total $350,000 annually.
