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 30,288,895.08 Kilowatt-hours 103,345.71 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 161,651 MMBtu
Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water 0 MMBtu

Total site energy consumption, baseline year:
264,996.71 MMBtu

Baseline year building space

Gross floor area of building space, baseline year:
2,624,541 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, 2004 June 30, 2005

A brief description of when and why the energy consumption baseline was adopted:
The energy baseline corresponds to the baseline year from the original STARS submission.

Source energy

Source-site ratio for imported electricity:
3

Total energy consumption per unit of floor area:
Site energy Source energy
Performance year 0.08 MMBtu per square foot 0.15 MMBtu per square foot
Baseline year 0.10 MMBtu per square foot 0.18 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:
17.93

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:
---

A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
The campus has implemented a space temperature control policy to maintain heating setpoints at 70°F occupied/60°F unoccupied and cooling setpoints at 75°F occupied/80°F unoccupied. The campus has also initiated a policy that restricts space heaters unless medically necessary (need note from doctor).Occupancy sensors seem to be limited to newer buildings and renovations where required by code and intermittent elsewhere. A campus wide building automation system (BAS) exists.

A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Brockport estimates 30-40% LED penetration across campus for interior lighting. Continuing to upgrade lighting to LED as budget permits. New project is currently in design phase to replace fixtures in priority buildings identified by Brockport. Brockport estimates 70-80% LED penetration across campus for exterior lighting. Brockport is using National Grid incentives to replace more fixtures with LEDs. Daylighting exists in Edwards Hall.

A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Built in 2008, Brockport Townhome Residential Living Complex employs geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling.

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:
Campus vending machines are equipped with these sensors. After an area is vacant for some time, power is automatically shutdown until the sensors detect motion.
